And yet an other coin arrived, I like these big greek coins! For only 67 euros so I couldnt let it go. I really need to cool down for a while now, selling instead of buying    Thasos, Thrace, 168-148 BC. AR Tetradrachm. Wreathed head of young Dionysos right / HRAKLEOUS SWTHROS to left and right of Herakles, standing left, resting on club, lionskin draped over left arm; M at inner left, QASIWN below. BMC 73; SNG Cop. 1039; Le Rider, Thasiennes 51. 30mm - 15,85 gr. Edited by Dutchgulden

see the small pic of my mintmark , you see 4 points making two vertical lines ,in the middle is a line connecting this two lines , this makes a H :eta in greek alphabet , from the top of the two vertical lines are two lines to the middle of the horizontal line making a M :mu .So I think it is M H .The ending points on letters on typical for this period.albert
