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 Not ancient, but some of the satirical tokens of the late 18th, early 19th centuries are fun.. and I have to share this one with another ass on it (the regular one and a 3rd meaning of the word)

People forget, in these Trumpian times, that foolish, corrupt, reckless, tyrannical & nasty US presidents are nothing new. This token pillories Andrew Jackson..

(hence the origin of the term Jack-ass btw)
