Does anybody recognize the host coin or the sounterstamp. I can't even tell which is up and which is down. EDIT: I forgot. It weighs 6 grams and is 19-20mm diameter.

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/23/2018 12:07 am I searched "Cimmerian Bosporo" on VCoins and saw a few examples in pretty rough shape that are for sale $60-80 Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/28/2018 03:14 am Try searching Pantikapaion (Panticapaeum). Note Π-A-N around the lion. The city of Pantikapaion was on the Crimean peninsula, at the Cimmerian Bosporus. The Cimmerian Bosporus is the waterway (Kerch Strait) connecting the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea, separating Crimea on the west from Russia on the east. For some reason, a whole lot of Crimean coins have come on the market in the last couple of years. Can't imagine why. Edited by Kushanshah 03/28/2018 03:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
