Thanks, A.M.. Sorry about the 'mix-up' before. I think that I have a grip on it now.
@ Antwerpen2306. Thanks for your kind comments and for pointing out my error with the weight. I have corrected it now. I agree. It is one of (if not THE) best coins I have.

@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  |
