Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 04/18/2014 09:42 am Due to the board being slow, I thought I would take the time to revisit a coin from my collection. A piece I sought for years to find in acceptable and affordable condition. It still maintains a cherished spot in my book. An old coin complete with a coveted 3/4 facing bust of Helios. The gaze is breath taking and one can look at this coin and image the Colossus looking across Rhodes' ancient harbor. Rhodes AR Didrachm (6.64g) 387-304 BC Obverse: 3/4 facing head of Helios Reverse: Hibiscus (ROSE) Monogram E ref: SG 5038 Report this Post to the Staff
