After another seller turning rogue on a few lots of coins I won I was back on the search for some more interesting coin for around the same price as the other lots. I ended up buying four coins. This is my favourite from the group which is what I believe to be a Cherronesos silver hemidrachm. This was the most expensive coin at £11, I also had a Ionia Bee coin for a fiver, a Vespasian dupondius for £3.95 and finally what I think is a Mysia Kyzikos silver with a lion head on it for £7.50. I've been doing a lot of research into this coin since I won it and so far, I'm yet to find an exact match for the reverse of the coin. Is anyone possibly able to help me? This was the closest I could find however the grain is different and there is no dot on my one: Report this Post to the Staff

Coinage123 Valued Member United Kingdom 449 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 6:07 pm I present you with the picture of the other coins I bought; please feel free to comment on them as you wish... Ionia bee coin which cost me £5. The listing had this described as a Mysia Kyzikos silver coin however I haven't looked into this yet; this cost me £7.50. And last but not least a cruddy Vespasian dupondius to replace one which I sold then a week later regretted. It only cost £3.95 which I don't think was to bad. Report this Post to the Staff
