I'm green with envy! This is Josifovski 142 (V28, R28), citing one specimen in a private collection. Rare coin!
Jochen   [Jan 03, 2007 at 07:06 PM]
What an interesting coin!
Jerome Holderman   [Jan 03, 2007 at 07:29 PM]
Am I mistaken or does demeter appear to have wings?
Pscipio   [Jan 04, 2007 at 07:39 PM]
Yes, the deity (Josifovski calls her Victory) is winged, and I think there is only one snake. Is that a Lotus flower on the head?
Jerome Holderman   [Jan 06, 2007 at 10:04 AM]
Another Green with envy!!!!! Pscipio, isn't there a snake at the bottom and one at the top?
Pscipio   [Jan 06, 2007 at 04:33 PM]
I think what we see at the top is part of the torch.
