agross New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 3:08 pm Hi Everyone. Can anyone help me pinpoint this coin? I know it is an Achaemenid empire coin but I cannot seem to find the specific one. I am not looking to sell it or anything as it is special to me. Just wanting to find some information. Thanks, Aaron * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

agross New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 3:43 pm Yeah I know it is from that empire, but I have yet to find the exact coin. There are many similar ones, but it is never a perfect match. Either the arm isn't bent, or there is a spear instead of a dagger. . . etc. . . Report this Post to the Staff

There's also a handy guide to the countermarks; yours seems to have numbers 42 and 116. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
