Thoughts? Thanks!  THRACE, Apollonia Pontika. Circa 450-390 BC. AR Tetrobol (13mm, 2.81 g, 11h). Attic standard. Facing gorgoneion / Upright anchor; A and crayfish flanking; all within circular incuse. Topalov, Apollonia 45; HGC 3, 1324 corr. (standard, denomination). Lightly toned, slightly off center, some light marks. VF.   IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

In New Orleans, USA, we call them crawfish (look like small lobsters or large shrimp with a hard shell) and we like to eat them boiled in beer and many spices inside burlap sacks out of the back of a pickup truck. The ground is covered with crawfish shells when we are done.
