mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 02/26/2012 1:26 pm to CCF I have same/similar coin: I know its from Dyrrhachium (today Durres in Albania, Greek Epidamnos )its during Roman rule in that part of Illyrium (so after 229 BC) and they have been minted up until late first century BC. There are also coins from city Appolonia (near Durres) witch are similar to these Dyrrachium coins. But I dont know the difference (maybe inscription on reverse). On avers is name of the guy who made the coin or name of archon eponymous as I found somewhere. That is all I know hope someone else can help you more. I also would love to know more about these coins.
