A new Acheloios? Part 1
« on: June 20, 2019, 07:44:50 am »
My heart started beating last night during my bedtime eBay scroll.  Here is the first of two coins—a potential new bronze type featuring Acheloios.

17mm, 3.5g

Your thoughts are appreciated.

The suggestion of Antissa seems to fit.

At first I thought the reverse looked more like a harpa, but I see the bearded profile now.
