[QUOTE="hoth2, post: 2320094, member: 74431"]I just posted some fish in a previous thread, and it was suggested a thread get started just for the tunnies, and since thread-starting makes me feel more important than thread-replying, I thought that was a fantastic idea. I'm reposting my coins here. Please post yours! On this one I love that the head of the tunny has the spine sticking out its back. That along with the other tunny in its mouth make it about as gory as you can get for a fish-themed coin. [ATTACH=full]468729[/ATTACH] Kyzikos, Mysia 600-525 BC Obv: Head of tunny left with smaller tunny in its mouth. Rev: Quadripartite incuse square. .45 g Smaller than a penny, larger than one piece of rice --------------- This one's not much to look at, but it was my first coin with an incuse punch reverse and I like how basic/rudimentary both sides are: [ATTACH=full]468730[/ATTACH] Kyzikos, Mysia 550-500 BC Obv: Two tunny, one above the other. Rev: Rough incuse punch, possibly quadripartite. .43 g 9mm[/QUOTE]
