Ancient Greece, Islands of Thrace, Thasos. After 148BC, silver tetradrachm, large planchet, 32 mm, 15.9 gm. Obverse: portrait of young Dionysos, Reverse: Heracles standing, holding club and lion skin.

Excellent example of this Thrace type, which started in finer style and gradually became more barbarized over a century, this being intermediate in the progression. I have been a collector of worldwide and ancient coins for over 50 years, it is time to start parting with some of it. Most of my coins I have owned 20-40 years.
