[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 8131273, member: 57495"]Thanks! There were two examples of this Mars in Aries from the Rhakotis Collection in that Leu sale. Mine was one; I suspect you must have bid on the other one. I think that there were two of them in the same auction split bidders and allowed both to go for a little lower than they might otherwise have gone for. Very cool bronze... I've not seen the type before, but it clearly qualifies as a snake cowboy, IMHO! Many of the nicer or more unique pieces were very strongly bid on. I tried for quite a few lots, hoping to get just one, but was glad that I managed to win two in the end. I really would have been happy with any of them! :hilarious:. Thanks for that graphic, TIF... my coin is now even more memorable that before. The grin on Helios's face after he looks back up is priceless! And now all I'll be able to see on this one is a sea lion! I'm going to have to see if the Egyptians had any sea lion deities in their pantheon, though. :pompous: :troll: I never get tired of seeing that coin, or that snake-riding-on-a-flower-farting-horse animation! :D[/QUOTE]
