a belated thank you Eric!
here are two more coins i acquired over the past few months, both from the Clain-Stefenalli collection.

the first is a silver obol, similar to the ubiquitous kantharos/kantharos types, but this scarcer variety has a bucranium reverse...

the second is a newer addition, and while it seems to be the more common kantharos/kantharos type, it is actually a bronze piece and much scarcer than the silver obols. it also sports a bucranium...

One of my favourites, a lifetime bronze coin issued under Alexander the Greaat.

I bought it from the FORVM shop.

Great example Peter,

I do not own many antiquities but if I did focus on collecting them I could not pass by nice glasswork.
