Deinomenid Posted September 20, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2023 2 stunning coins. I loved that one on cng and am delighted you got it. This one of mine is in a much lower league and was described as an “owl with character”, which translates from seller-tongue to roughly as “almost fine”. LESBOS. Mytilene. Circa 454-428/7 BC.Hekte (Electrum, 10 mm) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
