<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 4567367, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you all for your help.&nbsp; I was amused when Alegandron said it reminded him of a Xoanon, as that is a word I did not think existed in our galaxy.&nbsp; I learn something new every day. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A <b>xoanon</b> (/ˈzoʊ. ənɒn/ ( listen), Greek: ξόανον; plural: ξόανα xoana, from the verb ξέειν, xeein, to carve or scrape [wood]) was an Archaic wooden cult image of Ancient Greece. Classical Greeks associated such cult objects, whether aniconic or effigy, with the legendary Daedalus.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And in fact the pointy thing on my coin does look like a xoanon - I haven&#039;t found a match yet, but it opens up a new line of inquiry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
