<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 7955956, member: 112342&quot;]So I recently came across this weird looking coin during one of my online session of window shopping, the coin had incuse and a blob described as a stylised eagle head.</p><p>Picture from WildWinds.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379188[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I looked further, but almost every coin had this blob looking figure even at mint state, except this one from Vcoins that at least resembled an eagle. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379191[/ATTACH] </p><p>But I still wondered if the mint really wanted to just show an eagle, or something more. So I went on google maps to look at the city of Sinop, Turkey. And lo and behold, with it&#039;s narrow isthmus and triangular peninsula, it exactly looks like the stylised head of eagle as portrayed on coins!! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379190[/ATTACH] </p><p>So, could the &#039;eagle&#039; be an actual map of the city/land itself?</p><p>What do you guys think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
