Here is summary of Apollo's adventures in mythology, from Apollodorus, The Library of Greek Mythology. I forgot to show it for Zeus.

If you don't have The Library you can probably google the story, if you have an interest.

Here are my Apollos. Please present yours.

Thanks and good luck collecting.

A nice serrated coin I got locally from a dealer.

Kantana?
A coin I bought on a trip in California. Not sure if it's real or not. I would really like to know what do you think?





Three coins from Castulo, Spain. I think these are Apollo. Please let me know if you differ or concur.

I wish I could contribute to this thread but I don't have any coins that fit it. These coins all have excellent details and patina.

Nice coins doucet.

Below is an 'Apollo' coin that I own. Has a die break on the obverse that makes it appear as if he has some string coming from his nose
