pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 04:07 am TC if you enter Illyria Apollonia into the acsearch engine you will get 200 examples. There are 22 examples on vcoins. Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 05:32 am PP - I have never heard of the acsearch engine. Where can I find it please? Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 06:16 am I worked out the acsearch part and I found some references to coins that may be the same (or similar). I'd still be interested to hear someone else's thoughts, though. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 09:43 am Sorry TC I was away from the pc. If you look at the stickies at the top of the forum, there are lots of links to really interesting sites. I am not familiar with this coin, it looks nice though. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 1:35 pm The coin appears to be a drachm from Apollonia and is similar to Sear #1878 struck under the Roman protectorate 3rd to 2nd century BC. Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 5:40 pm Thank you echizento. I am not familiar with 'Sear #1878' and I couldn't find any reference to it, but . . . .. I did find a reference to a coin with the same 'legend' and pictures on 'Wildwinds' (see Ceka 83). That is the closest I have found, so I am going with that. Thanks, again, everyone. cc592 Illyria, drachm, Cow & calf, gF Appollonia, Illyria, AR drachm, (3.00g) after 229 BC, NIKAN_PO_ Cow standing right, looking back at calf, which she suckles. / Double stellate pattern. S1900var. Edited by Topcat7 09/04/2014 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
