chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 06/27/2014 7:51 pm It's called a 'crested helmet,' and several Greek places minted coins with them, although I usually associate it with Pontus and the Seleucids. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 09:03 am Thanks chrsmt but I am at the point of sticking this under "unattributed". I have looked all over the place and found nothing. Especially nothing left facing. Most of the coins found with the rider holding a spear are silver. I found this one bronze and the quality of the coin makes mine look like toy town money! http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media My coin appears to have the letters BN above the horses head. There seems to be something behind the rider's head. There are possibly some letters below the horse, but I can't make much out. Report this Post to the Staff
