I don't generally buy group lots but an auction yesterday had one which contained 3 coins that I have always admired so I bid and was successful. The lot description was somewhat sparse - '4 Greek Coins'. I attach (hopefully!) a picture of the lot. I can identify the 3 larger coins but am struggling with the smallest. Is it a Teos hemiobol? Thanks in anticipation, Ian. Report this Post to the Staff

From what I can make out it does appear to be a Griffin on the obverse which was used on coins of Teos. What is the size and weight of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Sandgrounder New Member United Kingdom 6 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 2:47 pm Thanks for the replies so far. Unfortunately I can't (at least for now) post a better picture because I won't have the coin itself for a few more days. Insofar as size and weight is concerned I have no details because as I said the auction description was extremely sparse. However, the lion and gorgon coins are generally in the order of 13mm or so, therefore just measuring proportionately I would expect the small griffin coin to be something in the region of 8-9mm. If this is still too vague I'll post fuller details in due course. Thanks again, Ian. Report this Post to the Staff
