FrostyMoon New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/07/2020 5:13 pm I'm really having a hard time finding anything for this one. The obverse shows a head facing right with dolphins around it (Apollo? just a guess). The reverse shows a prow with a trident above. The coin is slightly scyphate. Any help is appreciated. 4.10g 17mm Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/07/2020 6:26 pm Different monogram here - not a trident - but for comparison, see below. The B-A are pretty easy to see: Report this Post to the Staff

FrostyMoon New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/07/2020 10:55 pm Wow, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The bowstring looked like waves and the club looked like the horizontal bar under a sail... couldn't have been more wrong. I did some poking around and came up with Alexander III, Price 386... similar to Price 387, but without the star before the B A. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Report this Post to the Staff
