<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3742843, member: 76965&quot;]Although I have other Ancients which have cost me multiples of this one, I like the coin for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was one of my earliest Ancient acquisitions and set me up to look at collecting ancients seriously. Secondly its state of preservation for a coin that is almost 2,500 years old.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ozbaal/Azbaal Shekel 400-340 BC.
