Great coins from the birthplace of all coinage. Thanks for posting them.

My most recent coin purchase is this little silver coin from Ionia (located on the NW coast in modern day Turkey). It depicts a flying pig. Legend has it that this flying sow terrorized the area. There are several CT threads that describe this awesome coin. Anyone interested can search "pigasus" at CT.

BTW, swarming swine are not seen in the wild very often.

 

Eugene thanks for starting this Turkish coin coinage. I will have do some photo's of mine.

 

This is a commemorative I got for spot back in 2005 I think. But didn't get certificate from there mint.
