I don't know much about ancients, so I have no idea what this is. It is 28mm to 26mm.

It looks of Celtic origin but I'm sure someone can expand on this.

Possibly Sicily Syracuse Timoleon, but I am sure you will have more success if one of the mods moved this to the ancient forum.

Thank you! I didn't realize I should have posted this in the Ancient forum. I will be sure to do that for the others that I have.

No, that's the purpose of the Unidentifieds Forum. Postings can get moved when the picture is clearer.

This coin and the cited coin are not from Sicily. They are from the north African kingdom of Numidia.

Thanks, Chris. I only knew because I have one :D. I bought it from Warren Esty in the early stages of my ancient collecting.

It's hard to find the type in a decent grade. This one isn't too bad, comparatively.
