AncientNumis Posted June 12, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Here are some Greek lion coins I bought at the London coin fair! They include: Miletus AE (Sure, it's not a great coin but it was really cheap and will go nicely with my Miletus 1/12 stater! Like the obverse too, super cool to see a mini stag 😄) Lesbos Triobol (Think I got a good deal on this one, looks much better in hand than in pics of course as it's a small coin. The facing lion's head in an incuse square is something I like too) Lycia 1/3 Stater (Been wanting one of these for a while! They're great coins, and while my piece doesn't have the best lion, I picked one with a mini portrait in the top left field of Reverse - so I really find that level of detail wonderful) Share your Greek lions 🙂 Edited June 12, 2022 by AncientNumis 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that Chersonesos - think I may get one of those next as they’re iconic and well known coins, plus it’s an interesting lion pose 🙂. Love the amphora symbol on yours 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got the ears (handles), but it is a purdy cool coin. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
