Obv (Sleepy eyed) Bust of Herakles in Lionskin right Rv ΛEYKAΔIΩN / ΔAMYΛOΣ above and below Club to left All within oak wreath 3.93 grams 19mm A beautiful green patina I might add ! Seems straight forward enough ... More than enough 'clues' Yet I can't find anything remotely similar ! Time to hit the shower ...

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7067 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:33 pm ΔAMYΛOΣ = Damylos. The description attached the following rarity from Leukas, Akarnania states that the (linked) coin's issuer - the magistrate Nikoboulos - was one of five magistrates, a group that included one named Damylos. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4673524 Report this Post to the Staff
MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1656 Posts	Posted Today 8H 29M ago That's the closest example I could find, too. Quote: Seriously . Why Do I Torture Myself Thus ? Because the research is so interesting! I spent a decent amount of time on/off throughout the day researching this coin rather than a phone game, etc. I really do need to get some more ancients... Another very nice coin, thanks for posting good details. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3489 Posts	Posted Today 1H 4M ago Thank you both so very much ! I purchased a group of 44 'Greeks' that seemed to have bare attributions . I figured it would be fun doing the leg work and researching them 'online' By the age of the collector tickets I could tell someone had spent long hard hours half a century ago giving at the very least the place names ! Now to put modern technology (and my fractured cerebellum) to good use ! Greek attributions have never been my favorite 'Labor' Unfortunately it appears nearly half this group lot is made up of things I find nearly impossible to find reference for ! Fun . But frustrating too Report this Post to the Staff
