Thracian Chersonese AR, Lion * Pentacle Hemiobol
Thracian, Chersonese 480-350 BC.
Silver Hemiobol
 
[b]Obv[/b]: Forepart of lion right, head reverted left, tongue protruding.
[b]Rev[/b]: Quadripartite incuse square, pellet with ligate [b]AΓ[/b] and Pentacle monograms.
 
Size: 14.10 x 13.4 mms.
Weight: 2.31 grams
Die Axis: 180°
 
Condition: Superb!  Appears mint or near mint condition.  I can’t imagine it looked much if at-all different the hour it was struck. Bright, clear, stunning luster, perfectly centered and well-struck in all areas on an excellent flan.  Gorgeous coin which a mere photo cannot do justice.

Impressive!

Very nice pentacle reverse example! Check my gallery for a "bee" reverse. The variation in reverses on this issue never cease to amaze me.

Thanks very much guys, much appreciated! One of those coins - 'See = Must Have!' I couldn't pass it up. Thanks for your pointer, too, Cogito. Have seen yours as well, voted and left comment. Just beautiful! Smile One on auction now on eB_ in pitiable condition... Yes, I really love these coins, too!
