rec25 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 1:40 pm Thank you. I kind of thought that it was some sort of reproduction. (Not nearly enough wear.) I did a pretty intensive search through WildWinds, and also using google image search ("coin laureate head left bull"), and was unable to find anything that even looked like it. Do you think that it's purely a fanciful tourist item, or was there an actual coin which served as a model? Edited by rec25 02/07/2011 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 5:28 pm We had a "coin" with a very similar obverse posted in this thread; unfortunately, the pictures there have expired, but the obverse is still likely to be similarly inspired by the archaic stater of Naxos. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
rec25 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 10:49 pm Thanks again for all your kind assistance. The stater of Naxos is indeed similar. I'll pass along the information. Carry on with the good work, all! Report this Post to the Staff
