Hercules' club above. ref: Sear #1218 Coin #2 Sicily, Syracuse Reign of Hieron II c. 275-212 BC, 5.80g Obverse: Diademed Head of Poseidon Reverse: Poseidon's Trident Surrounded by dolphins. ref: BMC 530 Variant Figure I would share some recently photographed coins of mine. They seem to be relatively common and inexpensive, yet neat none the less. Coin #1 was bought for approx. $35 and coin #2 approx. $ 30. They maybe common but not everyday do you see a bust of Poseidon. Coin number one has a seemingly "Carthaginian" flair. I also thought many of you guys could share coins of this ruler. Information sources and comments are always welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
