I’m unfortunately unable to afford this coin at the moment but I thought it was very interesting and I have never seen anything like it

Whenever beginners ask me what they should start their collection with, I always like to recommend a diobol from Kyzikos. It is an ancient silver coin. It features interesting depictions of animals. It is 2,500 years old. There are plenty available on the market, and they are relatively affordable.
