@Ski - Is there a date range, or just the one year 200 BC?
(My coin says "after 229 BC")

hi Topcat , I think there is a mistake in the attribution of your coin from Apollonia,Illyria . It is a drachm, 229-100 BC obv with cow : the name of the mintmaster is AGIAS and there is no monogram below rev with double stellate pattern : APOL / EPI / KA / DOY :at the bottom : KA , at left : DOY : Apo = Apollonia , Epikadou is the genitif of the name of the magistrate ; Epikados . ref : SNGCop383,BMC15,16,Ceka3. I have the same coin in my collection , see the pic . albert  |

WOW! Antwerpen2306. Thank-you for all of that additional information. I have great difficulty attributing Greek coins to any great degree, so your comments are greatly appreciated.
When I bought the coin, the only help the seller gave me was "After 229 BC , but your 'attribution covers Ski's date of 200 BC .
Perhaps you would be good enough to look at my post of another Greek coin under the heading of "I hope I didn't get caught on this one?"

Then at the bottom of the page : see also : the second line : Coinage of Apollonia + Dyrrhachium, them take drachms . To make it easy , the difference between the coins of the two cities is the cow left or right , hereby a drachm from Dyrrh.,time : D2: 176/140. albert  |

A.N. I am going to post a new coin to try to keep this thread alive. Is that okay? This is a Constantius II pre reform Siliqua. Is turns out Constantius II reduced the Siliqua in the 350s because the Empore was losing money on the production of them. Also the Empire was going through a financial crisis.  Constantius II (337-361). AR Siliqua (20mm, 3.18g, 6h). Constantinople, 351-355. Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust r. R/ VOTIS/XXX/MVLTIS/XXXX in four lines within wreath; C•Theta;. RIC VIII 102; RSC 342-3j. VF - Good VF Edited by Augustus Maximus
