louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 07/04/2024 1:57 pm Does anyone have the correct reference for this coin? Usually the bronze has a Rose and not grain ears, and the one match I found, link at the bottom, still says Rose, although it is a match for my coin. Also, that estate tag is not correct but I post the image to show what others were thinking . https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10217055 Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/05/2024 07:08 am Nothing found for grain ears (apart from in right field), and this group from Macedon, Tragilos still says "rose". https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=106866 More of the same: https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...=usd&order=0 Report this Post to the Staff

Might be the answer for sure is behind the electronic curtain and if anyone ever knew for sure it was never uploaded to a data base as well. Still, looks more like Poppy or grains like you see in a modius than a set of rose petals. The depth between the three looks very intentional. Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/05/2024 12:51 pm I know exactly what you mean @louisvillekyshop. I got hung up on a coin from Calabria with a kithara reverse, as it didn't look like a kithara to me. It was pointed out that not all engravers had the same skill set and there was nothing else (published) that it could be. I haven't seen a Tragilos coin with the three grain ears, (possibly unpublished), though it could be a very wilted rose? There is always the nagging doubt though. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
