Olbia cast AE 65
« on: May 02, 2023, 04:13:53 pm »
Olbia, cast AE 65, 93.35 g, 4th Cent. BC, small casting flaw on obv.; obv. Gorgoneion facing, tongue protruding, hair in six concentric arches; rev. sea eagle flying rt. with dolphin in talons, APIX in clockwise quadrants starting at 315 deg.

Impressive for its size and weight. My largest coin and clearly designed before the invention of pants pockets...

Darker in hand, apologies for the suboptimal photo setup.

Just posting here because I hadn't seen another example on this forum (apologies if I missed one).
