LAODIKEIA, Æ12 [Image] Phrygia, Laodikeia Æ 12, 2nd Century BC Obv: Head of Goddess, Tyche Rev: Giraffe with foreleg raised Estimate A$100 (US$50) Note: A similar coin to this type appears in Sear's "Greek Coins and their Values", number 5157, but with a lion seated. This coin quite clearly shows a very long-necked creature with a small head. [Image] No mane is present, and extraordinarily there are two protrusions from the head, precisely as there would be on a giraffe. SNG Copenhagen, 496, also shows this type and states it is a lion, but there too is a similar creature with a very long neck. Thus this is a Very Rare depiction of an African animal.
