Hi stevex6,

I waded through some bulls but didn't find yours. Sorry my friend. I also have a Greek coin with a bull that I posted some time ago but has never identified.

I can't make out the letters from the picture of your coin to search by that, but here are the closest things I could find to your coin, no matches but maybe one will be a lead:



Ummm,-Can-Anybody-Identify-This-Bull-Coin?
Boione, Aiolis, c. 300 B.C.

26572. Bronze AE 11, SGCV II 4173; BMC Aeolis, p. 101, 1 - 4, aVF, 1.425g, 11.0mm, 0°, obverse female head left, wearing earring and necklace; reverse BOIWNIT/IKWN,

Ummm,-Can-Anybody-Identify-This-Bull-Coin?
Gortyna, Crete, 200 - 67 B.C.

17597. Bronze AE 13, BMC Crete p. 46, 69 ff.; S 3194, F/VF, Gortyna mint, 2.562g, 12.1mm, 0°, 200 - 67 B.C.; obverse head of Apollo right; reverse Î"OΡ/TÎ¥NI, bull butting right; very thick flan with bold high relief features



Ummm,-Can-Anybody-Identify-This-Bull-Coin?
Unattributed, probably Sicily, c. 3rd Century B.C.

29007. Bronze AE 11, unattributed, probably Sicily, F, 1.370g, 10.6mm, 0°, obverse head right; reverse bull butting right

I suspect Doucet has hit on the right (or very similar) coin with #1.

Thanks Doucet, and DVC ... those coins are quite similar ... sadly, the portrait on coin#1 is facing the incorrect way, but they certainly look like coins from the same era/family ...

=> thanks again, coin brothers!!

Here is a couple of possibilities:

http://www.vcoins.com/copperpenny/s...Product=1036
http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/e...GCop_476.jpg
I do not think any of these are an exact match but maybe it is an Eubian that I have not found?
