pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 3:00 pm The patina on the reverse is a glossy green, looks almost plastic. I cant get the colour right here. Coin is tiny 12mm .89g I don't know if I will ever find out what is on the obv. Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 4:08 pm It looks like... Victory advancing left, head right, dragging captive. I'm not sure about the ruler or which mint. Maybe SMHB? One similar: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=664754 Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 4:19 pm Now that looks good. I thought the captive was a dog!! I think I posted the obv upside down, there is a pearled diadem in amongst the crud. Thanks that gives me something to work on. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 7:22 pm Yes, most likely the Arcadius AE4 type, Victoria advancing left, dragging a captive and holding a trophy. From the Heraclea (Perinthus) mint. Edited by Masis 07/30/2013 7:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
