[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4684151, member: 57495"]Nice addition, Orfew. I have a plate coin that arrived recently, published twice, once in SNG Stancomb, and again by Stancomb in his 2009 Numismatic Chronicle article, [I]The Autonomous Bronze Coinage of Heraclea Pontica[/I]. I already had this type in my collection, but this example had the bonus of having a countermark on the obverse, and I thought the idea of a young Herakles countermarked on the bust of an old Herakles was pretty neat.
