Thanks for the compliment, hope there were some you did enjoy - and perhaps tempted you to add something similar to your collection.

Didn't someone mention Zeugitana for Z?

Since that probably takes the least twisting and turning from the coins before 1600 I have, here one of mine:

Alphabetic-Ancients-Game. Alphabetic-Ancients-Game.

AE 18 from Zeugitana, minted in Sardinia (~300BC to 264BC) - SNG Milano#409+

Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wreathed with corn, wearing ear-ring and necklace
Reverse: Head and neck of horse right, mark before neck

Nice and clear coin 'pishpash' - seems you rushed the upload.

Let me ask one question (out of curiosity) though: which coin types does the site (or you) differentiate?

What do you mean, I "rushed the upload"?
There are several templates available on the site. I think you can make your own, but I haven't looked into it yet. Main thing for me at the moment is to get a record of the collection on line.

Did notice that the upload of that first coin was dated today.

Let me also add two more (different types), not very good - if someone else shows those types, I'll remove them.

Alphabetic-Ancients-Game. Alphabetic-Ancients-Game.

Italian issue (1st half of 3rd century BC); O: Palm tree / R: Horse right, looking back - SNG Milano#93-96

Sicilian issue (late 4th to early 3rd century BC); O: Tanit / R: Palm tree behind horse standing right - SNG Milano#374-406

Wow Marti, that's a nice Carthage coin...both sides.

Anoob's billon is a great coin too. You don't see those around often. I got my eyes open though.

Thanks for the thread Val.

Thanks for the thanks, Echizento! Sorry I haven't been active towards the end of it. It is a busy time of year. Glad so many took part in it to make it what it was. I enjoyed it too...

Pity, wanted to see some more coins from you.
But as long as busy implies a decent cash flow, no one can object.
