<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3222517, member: 96635&quot;]I have managed to get this very rare coin from Gortyna, Crete today.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5N8pfu4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Crete, Gortyna. Circa 85-82 BC. </b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Head of Hermes left, wearing petasos.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> Bull butting left; caduceus above; in exergue: ΓΟΡΤ; all within circle of dots.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people may think that the appearance is not that nice, I can agree with that, but the historical beauty is wonderful and it is a very rare coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I only found 2 of these coins on acsearch.info:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=crete%2C+Gortyna+Head+of+Hermes&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=eur&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=crete%2C+Gortyna+Head+of+Hermes&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=eur&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=crete, Gortyna Head of Hermes&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=eur&amp;company=</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One coin with Hermes right and bull left and the other coin with Hermes right and bull right. However, I did not manage to find one like my coin with Hermes looking left.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I was wondering, if maybe this coin is unpublished or is it maybe so rare it is not found on the internet? Does someone maybe have the books of SNG Copenhagen and can look around near SNG Cop 460? Or is there a way to access his books online?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, post your coins from Crete here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
