SC - Silphium Images from Coins

[margali]

 http://ancient-coins.com/articles/articles.htm

Neat site with an article about the representation of the herb
'silphium' on coins.
Another article I have seen online also claims that it might be
possible that the plant is not entirely extinct, but we cannot
access them because of the political problems in the area. Is
there any country that Kaddafi isn't pissed at who can get into
Libya to check?
