Here is the only ancient coin I picked up last year. I was picking up some older near Eastern denominations I didn't have yet, like a Siglos from Persia and some Phoenician fractional shekels, but didn't have a full shekel..so got this one. Rough (but I could afford it), and cool devices with the wrestlers and slinger, a triskeles, and a cool little countermark I can't make out.

O:Two wrestlers.
R: Slinger about to release his sling. Triskeles to right.

Good pickup, Chris. I always liked these wrestlers/slinger staters.
