Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 09:14 am I think the second coin may be a 3rd century BC issue from Kyzikos, with Kore Soteira obverse / tripod atop tinny fish for the reverse. Your reverse picture is upside-down, I believe. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 09:20 am Both of these have bronze disease, Micha. I recommend you keep them away from your other bronzes. They need treatment. Report this Post to the Staff
micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 09:32 am I was thinking about the right position of tripod, thanks for the correction. Each coin is always separated. From an artistic view the second coin disease turned it to be very interesting :) Thank you so much Bob! Report this Post to the Staff
micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 7:04 pm Bob, I'm wondering if the coin shows an Altar at reverse and Apollo. Not sure which cities have altars on coins to search deeper. I took a new photo turning the coin to what I believe is an altar, not very easy to be seen. Report this Post to the Staff
