I have been listening to violin concertos lately, just for a change of pace from classic rock, alternative, etc.
I have been watching a lot of TwoSetViolin videos on youtube because I find them amusing and relaxing but also educational.
I realized I have a Greek coin that belonged to Jascha Heifetz, the famous violinist.
I love coins from Syracuse and could not resist this obvious homage to their famous types. Hard to believe I have had this coin for 32 years...
Campania, Neapolis.
AR Nomos, 380-350 BC.
Obverse: Diademed head of nymph right surrounded by three dolphins.
Reverse: [N]EOΠOΛITΩN, man-headed bull walking right, head facing; above, Nike flying right, crowning bull with wreath.

Do you have any coins with a musical tie-in of any kind?
