Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 2:45 pm Rotate reverse 45 degrees clockwise. From Wildwinds: Sicily, Messana Circa 450-400 BC Obv: Head of nymph Pelorias left; two dolphins before, sea-shell behind Rev: Trident; scallop shells between points, two dolphins below. And another...if link works: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SICILY-Mess...380842885855 A quick edit: Clearly the type is the Messana. Given the find site (Spain) and the slight quirkiness of the reverse style, I do wonder whether this is an official issue that traveled a bit after its minting, or whether it's an imitation minted by ancient Iberians. I don't know enough about the Iberian Celts to venture a guess. Perhaps someone will chime in with an opinion? Edited by Kamnaskires 02/01/2015 3:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
