<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7881011, member: 86498&quot;]Antigonos II Gonatas Ar Tetradrachm Amphipolis? 246/5-229 BC Obv. Head of Poseidon rightwreathed in sea weed.

This I think is one of the most impressive images of Poseidon and given his rather unique wreath gives one the impression that he has just stepped out of his dominion. A fascinating coin and one of the more difficult to purchase. This is because on this coin both the obverse and reverse are an artistic tour de force.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
