Dear Gianluca!

The second snake you see is just a strange protrusion of the staff of Asclepius, the meaning of which is not yet clear, as I recall.

Kind regards
Jochen

thanks a lot

Hello again, my friends. I would like to share two coins today, half of my haul from the San Francisco International Coin Show held this past Saturday, both purchased from Ken Dorney. The other two I will share later in the week each as a coin of the day, as they are a bit more special. First up today is a lovely Tridrachm of Trajan out of Bostra, in perfect Roman style. Second is a very rare Leaping Griffin reverse Orichalcum As of Hadrian. This is my second example of this rarity, a better example than my first. I hope you will enjoy seeing them, and as always thank you in advance for looking and commenting.

Już miałem napisać, że przynajmniej w BM powinny być wstępnie zabezpieczone, a w innych muzeach mogą być ciśnięte na kilkadziesiąt lat do pudełka i bez tego, ale jak sobie pooglądałem niektóre egzemplarze, to nie jestem już tego taki pewien. Np. te dwa - czy nie ma na nich aktywnego grynszpanu, który będzie je zżerał? Na podstawie samych zdjęć nie sposób stwierdzić.

Co w zapale przerażającego? I ceny, i dostępnośc ciekawych typów nawet jak już chce się większe pieniądze wyłożyć i problem z ich ewentualnym stanem (niestety nawet te drogie coraz częściej są niesamowicie rzeźbione i "poprawiane").

Jakby nie patrzeć podaż okołomenniczych egzemplarzy monet wybitych prawie dwa tysiące lat temu, na dodatek w wyjątkowo spokojnym okresie nie sprzyjającym oddawaniu większej ich ilości do "banku ziemnego" nie może być zbyt duży :-) Zawsze może Pan przejść częściowo na kolekcjonowanie wirtualne - zamiast monet zbierać ich dobre zdjęcia.

... except that in my coin, it seems to me that there are two snakes intertwining, while in the one you found there is a snake that turns around a stick. ...

Depicted is Asklepios' serpent-entwined staff, and this has only one snake around the staff  :

Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Re: Alexander III Lifetime or Postumous?

« Last post by Altamura on Yesterday at 01:53:34 am »

In fact Price says "c. 328-323 BC", the dates are not so exact as it seems in PELLA (the database Pella linked). There is obviously no possibility to express the "circa".
The dating of many of the alexanders is based on argumentation and consideration of style and therefore is not completely firm  (as with many other Greek coins as well).
