tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 06:22 am Hopefully these 2 prove easier than the last couple. Coin 1 Obverse - Hellenistic bust, with counterstamp Reverse - Apollo Sauroktonos, the lizard slayer Weight - 4.86g Size - 20mm From what I have found this image was issued between the rule of A/Pius & Diadumaniun but I cant find it with this bust. Coin 2 Obverse - Head of Alexander or Apollo ? Reverse - 2 Fish/ Urns. Not sure what they are. Weight - 10.32g Size - 26mm As always, your help is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
