Silver Greek Coin Gorgon
« on: May 06, 2012, 09:58:43 am »
This one i cant find any reference online- the hole in the coin intrigues me as seems quite unique. Does anyone have an idea of a reference to the coin i can check as i might want to add it to my collection after further research  :)

Macedonian Greek city of Neapolis in Northern Greece
Silver Hemidrachm 14mm (1.52 grams) Struck 411-348 B.C.
Reference: Sear 1417; B.M.C. 5.17
Gorgon's head facing, with tongue protruding.
NEOΠ, Young female head of Artemis Parthenos right, laureate, of exquisite style.

I'm a bit confused. You already list references and if you look online you can probably find at least 100 of these with little effort. They are not rare.
