<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24686063, member: 26430&quot;]That is a really spectacular overstrike! It&#039;s really something special to find one whose overstrike creates a new design (in this case, a weird centaur...and Constans w/ bushy eyebrows &amp; mutton chops!). </p><p><br /></p><p>One wonders if sometimes these weren&#039;t done on purpose...</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the following coin for such a reason. I&#039;ve seen a few others (e.g., Weber 1178) of these Adranon overstrikes where it looks like Apollo is still wearing Athena&#039;s helmet (from the Syracuse AE Drachm under-type). But this is the only one I&#039;ve seen where the lyre on the reverse has a frame constructed out of the under-type&#039;s dolphin&#039;s!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575042[/ATTACH] </p><blockquote><p>CNS III 2 st 4/5 = Virzi 512 = <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=235671" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=235671" rel="nofollow">CNG EA 116 (2005), 56</a> (The photo looks much better than the coin, so I use this old one from CNG.)</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>The under-type would be one of these (<i>NOT MY COIN</i>):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
