Finding of a Rare Coin.

In Tepe-Kermeno, an ancient town in Crimea, a platinum coin lias been found benring the image of Antlocbea of Syria, who died B. C. 164. The coin is what archaeologists call a unicus, the only one of its kind known to exist, and for this reason its value is unestimable. In the same place a coin was found with the image of a sow and three cubs, over the significance of which the students of archaeology are breaking their heads.
