I used to ask my students which one of the two coins they liked better. Both come from Katana, on the east coast of Sicily, and were minted around 450 BC: Both show a laureate head of Apollo with the inscription Katanaion. On the right side you see a perfectly centered and well struck coin, in mint condition. The coin on the left is not centered, not well-preserved.. Only two letters of the inscription are visible. But in my opinion, the image of the coin on the left is a more impressive work of art. I adore this coin, the other coin I only admire.
