DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 8:24 pm Here's a coin I picked up with my Istros drachm. An attribution came with this coin that has me stumped, since I cannot find any reference anywhere to their ID. Perhaps you have some ideas on the ID, the monogram and the inscription on the reverse--thanks! AE21, 7.7gr ID given: Thrace Odessos, Teos Megas on horse.

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 10:15 pm Right on, Biancasdad THRACE. Odessos. Late 3rd century BC. Æ 20mm ( g). Laureate head of Zeus right / Horseman wearing kausia riding right. Reverse Legend : Ο∆HΣΙΤΩΝ / AL I think, (reading backwards) your coin inscription is N for last letter then Omicron, T, I then the letters kinda blur together, but similar to this.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 10:21 pm Thanks again--I pretty much assumed that it was Zeus on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
