Ladies, I have a horny man-god for you! Wait, "horned", a horned man-God - Gelas, from Sicily! Phew, that could have got awkward! (Ok @AimeeMaroux I know you can still do something inappropriate with Gelas!) This Æ Tetras harks all the way back to 420 - 405 BC, it amazes me that it is possible to hold something so old in your hands! More at: https://coinofnote.com/gela-ae-tetras-420-405-bc/

Original coin has: "Bull right, olive branch above, three pellets (mark of value = 1/4 litra) in exergue". On mine, basically only the bull is visible.

@CoinOfNote @AimeeMaroux Great coin, but I'll see your tetras and raise you a didrachm. From Neapolis, in Campania. With a winged Nike placing a wreath on the man-headed bull, Achelous, on the reverse, and a bust of the nymph Parthenope, daughter of Achelous and the muse Terpsichore, on the front. Struck between 330 and 275 BCE. 😊
