Hi , this is not my coin but I don't know where to start for an id , a friend has asked for help with any info about it but I can't seem to find any match , it looks like a minerva with shield facing reverse and a helmeted athena obverse ? If anyone can shed any light on it , it would be much appreciated . Many thanks   |

I am still looking. I found one coin, it is not the same as yours but it has a similar reverse. Translated from German from acsearch http://www.acsearch.info/image.html?id=948826GREEKS. Bithynia Prusias I. od II, 230 -.. 149 BC. 2.69 g. .: Vs head of Ares with winged helmet nr Rs .: Î'Î'ΣΙΛΕΩΣ / ΠΡΟΥΣΙΟΥ, Tropaion. BMC - (see 20.). SNG Aul. -; SNG Cop -. SNG Marc Bar -. Lindgren 201B (corr.); Beautiful green patina, vz The piece is probably not the same type as the instance BMC 20 because there Athena is shown and also present a different face, but probably the same type as the quoted piece of the collection Lindgren. Shown, however, as evidently required by the short hair, but not Athena Ares. |

Found it. Can't link to wildwinds, but if you google "coins Lysimachos" that will take you to the right page. Then scroll down until you get to Mueller 13.1 and look at the variations.
