A neat little dolphin shaped protomoney bronze piece from Olbia 5th-4th century BC. A bit different type than one I've owned for years.

My first Parthian Kingdom piece. The toning spoke to me image

    Always thought the little Olbia dolphins were neat. At least you got one that actually looks like a dolphin. Some of them are pretty crude and "dolphin-like" can be a stretch.

    Fantastic toning on that Parthian! image

    Poker, these are pretty awesome. The Parthian in particular strikes my fancy. The toning and eye appeal are very strong. I only have one Parthian coin myself, but it is not for lack of looking. Finding the right piece at the right price has been an issue. But your coin reminds me of my Artabanos II:

    I love your Vologases III drachm.

    The strike, centering, and toning sure set it apart from my one Parthian, an Osroes II drachm
