dwastwood17 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 02:54 am I just acquired this coin from a set of unidentified Roman and Greek coins on ebay. I have great success using http://numismatics.org/ocre/identify for identifying the Roman coins and some success using Google Lens for the ancient Greek coins. This is the one I am having trouble with perhaps because of its low grade. It weighs 4.09 grams and has a diameter of about 16 mm. It has a thickness of just over 3 mm. It is made of bronze and has what appears to be the head of a Greek god, perhaps Zeus. The reverse appears to have a horse and some Greek lettering. I have attached photos. Can anyone help me identify this coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I was thinking Alexander III, but I can't find a match. Good luck. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
