<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 938508, member: 26430&quot;]Oh, yeah. A little rough as many of those seem to be, but yeah, it&#039;s immediately as one of the Ionian, Miletos lions. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Got one of these (or, of this style) myself. Bought it in Washington DC when I was about 12, back when real brick-and-mortar coin stores still existed! (I guess i&#039;m part of that problem, since I do the auction thing, but I used to love to sit in an ancient coin store as a kid and let the old guys--they were always old, retired or passed on now--show me their wares. Actually still have a lot of Greek coins from back then, either purchased or gifted from those places.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My Miletos lion, which looks like yours (not sure about direction of lion facing), if I recall, is a tri-hemiobol (1.5 obols I guess?). So many denominations!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cool. Cooler that the later Chersonesos lion coins in my opinion (not trying to start a fight :smile --I have one of those, too--both in my private, no-sell collection). Would post pics, but only have the Chersonese.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
