chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4964 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 11:02 pm Picked up a couple of coins recently that have been on my list for quite some time. ~~Phoenician coin~~ As much as I dig the cool devices on Phoenician coins I never did pick one up until now. Neat double animal and cool Greece meets Egypt type thing with an owl holding a crook. Phoenicia, Tyre, AR 1/24 shekel. 393-310 BC O: Dolphin R: Owl with crook and flail. BMC 5 9 mm, 0.9 g ~~Siglos~~ I've also never pickup up this classic, an Archaemenid siglos. Seems like kind of an ancient coin that really should be in a "affordable greatest hits" of the ancient coins collection like mine. Achaemenid Kingdom, Silver Siglos, 375-340 BC O: King running right, holding a dagger and a bow. R: Incuse punch Carradice Type IV 15X11 mm, 5.5 g Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 12/09/2021 07:14 am Good additions and I agree that the Siglos is iconic as well as generally affordable. The Gold Darics of this empire are much less affordable.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 05:16 am Siglos is a must have I'd say. Also as Spence says much more affordable than a Daricm which is an important type well respected at the time and even allowed to continue over 100 years after Alexander because it was so successful.
