A recent purchase that currently holds the record for most snakes on a coin I own. 4 total if I counted correctly.

I've always thought this was a cool coin type, was glad to pick up a mid range example.

Snakes-On-A-Coin!-Cistephoric-Tet


Mysia, Pergamon, Ar Tetradrachm,85-76 BC.

O: Cista mystica within ivy wreath. Rev., ΔI and ΓΡY monogram above, ΠEΡ monogram to l., two serpents entwined around bow and bowcase, serpent-entwined thyrsos in r. field. Kleiner, Hoard 32; SNG France 1734-5.

12.5g, 27mm.


Got any cool snaked up ancients? I would dig seeing them!
