Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 3:32 pm Just when I think I've seen the most impressive tiny Greek coins! This one was also in that CNG lot; lots more goodies than it looked like in the photos! Troas, Kebren (Cebren) AR Hemitetartemorion, 5mm 0.09g c. 5th century BC Obv: Male head (Apollo?) right Rev: Ram's head right It's a shame the ram is so far off center, but it is nevertheless an impressively engraved coin! Not only were they able to engrave anything at all on a 5mm die (supposedly without magnification!), but the coin is struck in deep relief! Scale photo! Report this Post to the Staff
