The city, Pisidia, was a Greek colony in Anatolia, and an ally of Persia during the Greek/Persian wars. But we won't hold that against them when they were capable of producing such pretty little silver coins. Post any tiny Greek silver coins you feel like sharing. Let's show the world the beauty of those tiny silver ancient Greek treasures. [ATTACH=full]743020[/ATTACH] Pisidia, Selge, 350 - 300 BC Silver Obol, 9mm, .86 grams Obverse: Facing gorgoneion.
