infoschumi New Member Romania 14 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 1:40 pm Thank you Finn235 , indeed the reverse seems to be Abgar,also the writing seems to indicate it,except I cannot find any Abgar bust without a star near it and looking the same. On obverse it is written GOCKA ? I cannot find anything like it.I also attached new photos,I hope I did as supposed this time.Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

infoschumi New Member Romania 14 Posts	Posted 12/01/2017 6:25 pm I finally found it,it is : Caracalla and Abgar IX,BMC Greek (Arabia) 38.p96.From what I can see and read there was only one ever found in 1877.Do you think it has any collectible value? http://www.britishmuseum.org/resear...350&partId=1 Edited by infoschumi 12/01/2017 6:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
