This coin is back for one more turn...
You were so right! Once I
had some idea of what I was looking at, it was much easier to continue... I THINK I have finally found the bottom of all the crusties. Unfortunately, in one small spot on the L
side of the
reverse, I also found shiny coin. GRRRR
That is what told me that I
had reached the end.
As far as legends go, I don't see much. I am not sure if it is just
part of the design, but there is something behind the
omphalos (which btw looks extraordinarliy uncomfortable). The arrow also seems to have a lot of extraneous parts, so I am not sure if there are any clues in there.
This coin has really been fun and I learned a
ton from it... 1) you can totally dull 3 scalpels on one coin (this was my first experiment using a scalpel) 2) you can cause a semi-permanent cramp in your hand in the process of dulling 3 scalpels. 3) you can see a lot of things that don't exist on a coin. 4) there was a Kingdom of
Seleucid.
I am
still not sure how to catagorize this coin... guess I will start a
Seleucid page in my notebook.
Any other thoughts?
Thank you!
