tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 06:35 am I have a coin from Teos that is giving me some trouble in getting a reference for it. Information seems scarce at best which isn't making it any easier, I have scoped many sites and I still cant find it. The Obverse is a match for SNG COP - 1492, the reverse is the part I am struggling to find a match for. SNG COP 1492 has an eagle and only 1 city name on the reverse. If anyone is familiar with coins from this mint I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. Obverse - bust of senate Reverse - Dionysus S/L, Cantharus in R/H - Thyrsus in L/H Report this Post to the Staff

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 07:53 am Thanks for the reply Bob, I have already been through the " basics " so to speak and FAC doesn't have this particular variety. The Reverse of the coin in the link has an Eagle ( winged griffin ) in left field and only 1 city name, mine has 2 city names and no Eagle ( griffin ) I have tried AsiaMinorcoins without any joy, I had to go to coinproject.com to find a similar coin SNG COP 1492. Same Obverse but different Reverse. That particular coin has a date of 1st - 3rd century which doesn't narrow things down much. Edited by tenbobbit 06/06/2017 07:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 08:11 am I honestly don't know enough to be able to make a decision either way Bob. Maybe an unlisted Reverse type, definitely no Griffin in Left field, the Obverse is a match for SNG COP 1492 though. Report this Post to the Staff
