Just added this one to my Apollonia Pontica collection:

Topalov 38 - Silver Drachm 
480/478 – 470 B.C.
Silver Drachm
3.36 gm., 15 mm.
Obv: Anchor; blank to left, crayfish to right
Rev.: Gorgon head facing in archaic Ionian style with hair in pellets
Topalov Apollonia p.584, 38
-struck over-
Topalov Apollonia p. 566, 12
540-535/525 B.C.
Obv.: Upright anchor with thin flukes and a thin stock. Side view of the additional symbol of a crab (or view from above) right between the fluke and the stock.
Rev.: Swastika with concave sectors with arms bent to the left. A dolphin as an additional symbol in every one of the sectors. Dolphins’ heads point from the center of the swastika outwards.

A statement of the changing times - bye, bye Persian dependency and hello Athens and the Delian League (Maritime Union of Delos 478 BC).

A cool coin struck over an even cooler coin!  Please see gallery for large view.

A third coin of a little know tribe has been found.  Here is a new composite pic of the three - my coin (middle) was the second known and mentioned in a recent auction.  Please see gallery pic for more info.



The three known coins of the Thraco-Macedonian tribe known as the Moriaseis as mentioned by Pliny, "in the coastal region of Pontos live Moriseni and Siton, the ancestors of the singer Orpheus" (Nat. History 4, 41).
