Very Nice. How much was it? (I'm still looking for one)

JZ, I paid $500 with shipping. Not sure what they should go for.

Thanks for the comments.

Hmm, I'm wondering if a hoard of Thessalian League coins has been found. I recently picked up a silver Double Victoriatus. Obv. Wreathed Head of Zeus right; Rev. Athena Itonia standing right, holding Spear. Ch. XF. I don't acquire ancients often, but I really liked the look of this one!!

Askari, very nice. I like the bold portrait.
