Macedonian tribes, Dikaia?, c. 450-425 BC AR Hemiobol (7mm, 0.35g) Forepart of bull right Grape bunch in incuse square, border of dots Unpublished? I was only able to track down two more of this type: https://www.biddr.ch/auctions/savoc...173&l=157046 https://www.biddr.ch/auctions/savoc...152&l=136043 I think those are a match? Nether has the dotted border, and have a prominent stem on the leaf, which I am still strongly inclined to describe as a bunch of grapes, although that turns up nil in any auction archive. E: found a better match: https://www.cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=344480 Edited by Finn235 03/21/2018 09:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
