dignrocks New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 10:58 am I've tried researching this greek coin but I can't find any reference on it, does any one know what it is. I know it has a Lyre on the reverse but I can't find a likeness of the bust on the front. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by dignrocks 06/07/2018 11:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

ancient67 Valued Member France 331 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 1:44 pm The weight and seize would be very helpful. Just a possibility : Chalcedon, pseudo-autonomous issue, 2nd century Is there any inscription? Report this Post to the Staff
ancient67 Valued Member France 331 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 1:47 pm But there seem to be no letters around the lyre, so this guess is wrong Report this Post to the Staff
dignrocks New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 2:12 pm The weight is 3.6 grams, the size is 18 mm. No words around the 3 string lyre that I can make out. These are the letters I can make out on the left front, I G(maybe) P A C (maybe) Y and then I can't make any out. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 3:31 pm I thought perhaps Aeolis but the unbearded, young bust is odd. But what looks like an upside-down lyre might really be an upright tripod altar. Perhaps a Lydian issue of Domitia?

ancient67 Valued Member France 331 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 7:24 pm Without a clear identification it's difficult to say. But in my view, given its condition, less than 50€. Probably around 20-30. Report this Post to the Staff
