Baltas Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 4:48 pm Can you help me identify this coin? (I can measure it tomorrow.) Greek, celtic or roman... :D Than you! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 5:40 pm I see what appears to be some Greek lettering, but there isn't enough to determine what they are or who the bust is of. Report this Post to the Staff
Baltas Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 6:30 pm Yes! I tried to clean a little bit: Maybe this is similar: BAÎ£IÎ›EÎ©Î£ Î YPPOY and another small detail: A helmeted head? Edited by Baltas 03/27/2014 6:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Baltas Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 03/28/2014 3:30 pm Finally! :D "Kingdom of Bithynia, Prusias I Chlorus AE 27mm. Laureate head of Apollo left / BASILEWS PROUSIOU, Athena-Nike standing left, winged & wearing a Corinthian helmet, crowning the king's name with a wreath, resting hand on shield decorated with a Gorgoneion to right" What do you think? This is the same? Edited by Baltas 03/28/2014 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/28/2014 3:54 pm Too bad it's not as nice, but still an interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
