<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4122890, member: 74834&quot;]Here&#039;s another of my Sinope coins from the late 5th century. I like it because it is a beautiful coin from the early days of the Greek colony. And it has some substance, being a drachm, it&#039;s not a tiny splint like my other early Greeks. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1068501[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What I also like is that the head of the sea eagle coincides more or less with the form of the coin, even the notch is in the place of the beak. This way it becomes a little sculpture!</p><p><br /></p><p>AR drachm Sinope. 425-410 BC. Obv. Head of sea-eagle left; below, dolphin to left; test cut in the eagle’s beak. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square with two opposing quarters filled; Θ. 14-15 mm, 5.86 gr. Hoover 388.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
