Menagerie (Mule / Hare / Dolphin), Messana tetradrachm
This is the same coin as the one I put out yesterday, but I took a new photo without flash. I think it looks closer to the real thing now. Anyway photographing such tiny things is not easy, and I`m still learning.
Circa 425-421 BC.
caltabiano 491(d200/r196)
SNG ANS359 (same die)
Weber 1425 (same die)
Ex CNG 66 (2004)

The encrustation that was sitting on the reverse appeared to be possible to remove, so I gave it a go. Please look at the other image of this coin to compare. I`m very happy with the new look, and the surface was not damaged. Maybe I`m crazy to try something like this, but at least this time I was lucky.
