Wow
man - what an impressive document of decline! From
Stone Age to High Culture and back! But can this really be the highest goal for a collector?
My Holy Grail would be the
tetradrachm with facing Arethusa from
Syracuse,
engraved by Kimon. Since I found no really
good picture at the moment that would be able to convey its full beauty, here's my second
choice: another
Syracuse tet, by Eukleidas this time. Sold by Leu, Zürich, for 245,000 Swiss Franks.
