Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2938 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 1:35 pm HI, I found these in a drawer (I got them years ago had forgotten about them).

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:21 pm Last coin, I think it is Thessalonika, Macedonia, the portrait is of the city goddess, legend within wreath, after 167BC. It gives you a place to start looking. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:25 pm Coin no 5. I think that is a date palm on the reverse. Could the other be either a bunch of grapes or a leaf? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:42 pm Nice group of coins, with a little research I think we would be able to ID them. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2938 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:52 pm Thanks for the suggestions. The "tree" one I think has a head on the obverse - I've turned it 90 degrees - my fault in the original picture.

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/27/2014 12:05 pm First coin second group. There is a similar coin for sale on ebay see: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANCIENT-I...em3ce1f25c6f I don't necessarily think that the attribution is correct, but it might be a starting place, and you have a better picture of the coin in question! Edit: Vima Kadphises See first coin on wildwinds http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree..._vima/t.html Edited by pishpash 05/27/2014 2:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
