Tracy,
That one is a beauty, both sides. I look forward to the Sassanians, not my area but related to Elymais and all are interesting,

Tracy Aiello:
Thank you both, Virgil and Joe.

Joe, that's a nice example. Larissa looks so mournful. :D

Virgil,

I working up my Khurso II First Crown write-up now but might not post it on its own. I'm still undecided how I want to do the write-ups, either individually and cross-referenced in some manner or perhaps as some sort of single but large write-up.

Tracy

Tracy Aiello:
Greetings Coin Friends,

My four month lull of adding to my collection has come to an end. I obtained this wonderful coin a while ago and am finally getting around to posting it. Taking a break from my Larissian fractionals, this is a drachm not of the ¾ facing type but of the profile type. The first time I’m bringing this type into my collection. I was delighted to obtain it, as I believe it to be what is referred to in BCD Thessaly I as the “prototype issue” which “...harks back to the work of Euainetos of Syracuse.”

Enjoy: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=174233

Nice Larissa drachm, though I'm now curious how the reverse texture came to be. It looks like woven fabric, which makes me wonder if it was burried against a piece of fabric that absorbed soil acidity enough to leave its imprint on the fabric of the coin? Interesting nevertheless.
