Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 6:13 pm Well beyond my level of expertise to make a definitive identification. A bit over 14 mm in diameter, weoght is 1.87 grams. Condition isn't too hot, but on the other hand, I didn't pay a whole lot for it, either. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

The Zeus standing left has the same distinctive shape to the right of him and the Azes on horseback arm outstretched looks the same. The size is right too ^^ Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 8:06 pm Based on the monogram in the left field of your coin. I would say it's Azes II. Azes I and II are now considered to be the same person by most collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 03:22 am Don't you think the reverse of the OP coin is standing left? Also the bow shape of yours stops way before the head where as it joins the head on the OP coin. This Azes is on Vcoins and I think overcomes such problems. Though your legends seem to match closer... maybe we need a version that is in between somehow... sporting my imagery and your legends/monograms.
