    Nice acquisition. Obverse struck in a good relief and the video shows the patina to its best advantage. Lovely coin.

    Certainly food for thought. Like the mythological bird Phoenix, it could be readying for regeneration, rebranding and re-emerging as a new entity.

    The engraving of his dies was certainly impressive. Certainly not surprising that they are collectible. To my understanding I believe I have 1 fake. I base this on the extensive list of images of this type, even though there is not an example that exactly matches a die shown on the list of fakes. Histiaia. Tetrobol circa III-II century BC, Euboia. AR 10.5mm, 1.55 g. Wreathed head of nymph Histiaia. Rev. IΣT – AIEΩN Nymph seated r. on galley; below, trident. BCD Euboia 387.

    A lovely collection @Ryro I don´t have any of those types in my collection. You would think that Hercules with his awesome body and incredible strength would be shown as more endowed than on this coin of Commodus. Looks like a doorbell
