NewStyleKing Posted October 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 5, 2023 Is the reverse a reference to snooker? So obviously the obverse is a arm stretching into a after snooker shot pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Anthos Posted October 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) This silver obol is from Phlious and looks very similar. The half staters from that city featured a triskeles, and the theory is that the single leg represented a fraction of that coin. ~ Peter Edited October 5, 2023 by Phil Anthos 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
