Hey folks,
I have recently aquired my first
ancient coins after spending quite some time in reading up on the topic.
One of the coins I've got is this Hieron II bronze coin (
HGC2 1550) from
Syracuse.
Now I wonder what might have happened to the trident on the
reverse. Usually the
handle of the trident would be expected to be centered below the middle spike. In this case
it's clearly off to the left. I'd suspect a double strike during the minting process for this, but I don't see much else that would indicate it.
Any ideas what happened here?
Cheers,
Alex
