08: Sicily, Naxos, Drachm

This coin here is smaller, finer, with the same face as the previous coin, but with a wonderful eye and an expressive mouth. The forms of the sharply struck, pointed beard and each of the grapes makes this early drachm a more significant coin for me than the one previously displayed. Dated at approximately 515 BC.
