pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/24/2014 6:39 pm Probably not knowing my luck! The following description is taken from asiaminor coins Leukai (BC 350-300) AE 10 ca 350-300 BC. AE10 (1.26g). Laureate head of Apollo left / Swan standing left with open wings, head down, ?... (magistrate) above, ? to left. VF, black patina, earthen encrustation. Very rare and apparently an unpublished denomination. Their example http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media My coin is 11mm and 1.25g (and not as pretty)but is it right? Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/24/2014 6:58 pm Your link doesn't work (at least for me) but had a look at http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media Seems you are in the right area, now off you go to check how long and how varied that principle design has been used Postscript: The specific coin is from http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...hp?album=128 - there are a few more examples of silver and aes using the same principle design.

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/24/2014 9:13 pm I adore Greek bronzes. When I find a nice one I absolutely revel in it. The artistry is breathtaking. I just wish there were an easier way of identifying them :) Report this Post to the Staff

When I click your link, I oddly get: "Error The selected city/mint/coin does not exist!" But yes, your coin is that type. Would read the legend in your coin as "...HTRODIO..." with the outer not sure/partly. And the "..O" to the left. While many of the Greek coins are beautiful, if there is no clear inscription they are difficult to identify/attribute - there are probably still thousands which have never been published. And even a clear inscription does not necessary help for a proper attribution - just look at the Naples coin I posted the other day.
