28 Weeks: 28 Centuries Of Coins

I agree--not only do you have a whole bunch to post, but also they are gorgeous coins. Mine are a bit rougher around the edges.

For example, here is a silver coin from approximately 350 BC minted in Sicyon Greece. There is a chimera on the obv and a dove on the rev. This was one of the first coins to enter my collection.

I'm pretty sure that the same is true for most of us either this week or next.

Great coin by the way that you just posted. What is the design element on the obv--a flower?

@DavidUK : fantastic stater , congrats
@Spence : I suppose it is a head of an eagle , as Sinope had eagles on his coins.
Let us wait now for the previous ,but next, century . albert

Well again I will bridge the gap... firstly with a Aegina turtle stater, and then with an earlier coin which is a much smaller version and attributed as earlier.
