I have another gorgon, but it has the anchor on the flip-side ... Oh, and David Sear verified that this Gorgon-Anchor coin is authentic (oh, and that reminds me => I got the paperwork back for my Rose Incuse Square => it was also authenticated by David Sear ... yiippppeeeee!!)

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 12/10/2012 7:49 pm Here's an older thread with one. And in this thread from earlier this year, several folks compare theirs with a fake one. There certainly were a wide variety of interpretations on how to depict a gorgon. I'm always amused by the dichotomy: beautiful coins trying to depict the ugliest creature in Greek mythology. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
