Got rid of a medieval cutie yesterday ...

France, Henri IV Huitieme d'Ecu 1599

Pretty sure somebody shaved-off a wee bit o' silver somewhere along the way, eh?

I have another coin leaving my collection (a total winner!)

=> Perseus carrying a harpa in one hand and Medusa's severed head in the other hand (pretty cool, eh?)

Oh, and the obverse with Athena and her gryphon-adorned helmet is also pretty sweet (yup, this is one of my favourite coin-types)

AE30 ... a nice big one!

Both the Henri IV and Pontos Amisos are great,

It's been a while since I've updated my outgoing coins ... I was on vacation (back to my hometown of Victoria, BC)

=> here are several updates to my gallery:

stevex6 · « **Reply #411 on:** August 25, 2018, 11:26:21 am »

Oh, and here are a few Roman additions as well ...

stevex6 · « **Reply #412 on:** August 26, 2018, 11:58:57 am »

Here is today's addition ... good ol' winged Perseus (Cornucopiae between pilei)

stevex6 · « **Reply #413 on:** August 27, 2018, 08:47:54 am »

Another one bites the dust ... man, I love the Boeotia shield-coins (very cool, eh?)

stevex6 · « **Reply #414 on:** August 28, 2018, 11:57:17 am »

A couple more beauties left the building this morning ...

Great coins, Steve,

Q.

RL · « **Reply #416 on:** August 28, 2018, 05:34:18 pm »

Wow Steve great um.. reductions? A few posts back now but the detail on that Maxentius is awesome.

stevex6 · « **Reply #417 on:** August 28, 2018, 08:37:11 pm »

Thanks guys ...

Yah RL, the Maxentius is quite a winner, eh? (did you happen to notice the two suckling twins on the reverse? ... super cool details)

Thanks again, my coin-friends

Cheers

Oh, and good luck in that other coin show-down (I have you as my dark-horse to win the competition) ... heads-up for Zumbly (but you can take him with the correct coin)
