Satraps of Caria, Hemiobol.

Not as small as some of yours, but its my smallest. I particularly love the design.

Yep 3 bulls! The design also pops out significantly more than the picture shows. The picture makes it look really flat, but in reality it is quite elevated proportionally.

Areal. That is one cool coin. I never tire of looking at it.

None of my Hemiobols match it.

Do I read that correctly? Only $7.50 for an 1882 Morgan dollar? I'll take 10 at that price? Where do you shop?
