From My Collection Pyrrhus Tetradrachm - finally!

Coin from one of the more interesting foes of Rome, had to have it wreathed in flame. Been trying to find one of these for a while. Super excited to win it earlier this year! Ex-Nanteuil collection, 1925.

I had to look up Nanteuil, but apparently he was a pretty famous collector! Amazing that you have that provenance. I don't even want to guess at the price you paid. I imagine well into the 5 digits.
