To the printer with you!

Not much happened over the Eastern Holiday (I suppose you are not interested in children pictures from Riga?).
But today I am back at work and I have good news!
The figures have now been sent to a printer! And after that a few master figures will be made.

Have I found a picture of the Kestros?

Have I found a picture of the Kestros?
I don't think so , but this coin is described as representing a kestros or a lyre.
The obverse of the coin is a Makedonian shield, but the other side of the coin is described as: " Warren offers a compelling insight on the reverse design: “On this Thessalian issue the kestrosphendone would be as apposite as the harpa, the special weapon of his hero namesake, on the reverse of Perseus’ similar Macedonian copper coins.” This type (cf. SNG Alpha Bank 1147–8) also carries a Macedonian shield on the obverse."
