I agree! This one is on that list too.

That's a great coin.

I have one that is much more worn and the silver is quite crystallized.

I think it's the same type. 14.5mm, 2.6g.

I wasn't sure which side was the obv. on this coin when I took the picture. I may have them reversed.

I got it for the sweet portrait of Aphrodite.

the picture is right , Aphrodite is the obverse .It is the same type , but not the same reference ; I don t thing your Aphrodite has an earring , on the reverse : the wings of Pegasus are more pointed and you have something like a dot as mintmark under Pegasus .albert
