Looks a bit like a lion's head on the obverse

Looks Thracian or maybe Cimmerian Bosphorus. Tried going through Plant for a reverse type?

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sorryno response, been busy. You can also look on Abebooks there are usually copies floating around there. Kolbe gets them in occasionally too.

Plant book arrived this morning, looks very handy but not for this coin.
Seller describes one side as possible chariot, hard to see with it not in hand, I would have thought that Roman would have been the first stop, but it doesn't look roman.

Coin arrived and I cleaned it up a little. It is not a chariot. 17mm 3.21g It appears to be an eagle standing on something, thunderbolt? I found something similar on acsearch and need an opinion or two, or three. My pics   The obverse is really hard to see, barely a ghost like figure, but very distinctive I might have found something very similar on acsearch. It might be quite exciting, you can bring me back down to earth! http://www.acsearch.info/ext_image.html?id=711809 Description Greek Kings of Sophene, Armenia. Arsames II Æ17. Circa 230 BC Diademed and draped bust left, wearing flat-topped tiara / Eagle standing right on thunderbolt. F. Kovacs, 'Sophene: New Coins and Comments,' Armenian Numismatic Journal, Series II, vol. 6/4 (2010), p. 97, 3. 3.49g, 17mm, 10h. Very Fine. Extremely Rare. |
