Thasos Stater Satyr and Nymph COTD
« on: April 09, 2019, 12:38:25 pm »
I'm very attracted to these coins that have an abstract expressionist vibe to them. I also love the incuse square backs of the really old ones.

ISLANDS OF THRACE, THASOS. Ca. 480-463 BC. Silver Stater (8.52 gm; 21 mm). Satyr advancing right, carrying off protesting nymph / Quadripartite incuse square.

Another awesome addition, Mark (congrats, coin-friend)

This was my old example ... oh, and I agree ...

=> these archaic punch types are super-cool
