<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2757254, member: 15445&quot;]I haven’t posted many coins lately but this little owl coin spoke to me at the Danbury Connecticut show. The coin looks like several from a recent hoard which was cleaned in recent years. Unfortunately, like so many it’s struck a little off center on a tight flan so we miss most of the ΠEIΡA in exergue and the top of Tyche’s coiffure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still like the coin (mostly for the owl) &amp; it was quite photogenic. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]632796[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>PONTOS, Amisos </b></p><p><b>AR Heavy Siglos (Drachma)</b></p><p><b>400 - 350 B.C.</b></p><p>5.66 gms, 17.5 to 20 mm</p><p><b>Obv:</b> Head of Tyche left curreted</p><p>&nbsp; Stephanos &amp; hair rolled within</p><p>&nbsp; double beaded boarder.</p><p><b>Rev:</b> Owl standing on shield facing</p><p>&nbsp; with wings spread.
