Nude Pan seated on a rock, facing, head l., holding syrinx and grasping reed representing the transformed nymph Syrinx. Pan was the god of the wild, hunting and companion of the nymphs. He was depicted as being half human, while having the legs and horns of a goat, as can be seen on this coin. Pan&#039;s body is covered with hair/fur, which is apparently unique to this representation of Pan on an ancient coin! VF/VF, with a splendid dark green patina.
