Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 6:45 pm Yeah, the hair tuft and "quadrant bottom" beard of the obverse, along with the seated figure - an archer? - suggest Eastern for me - and perhaps a rough reference to Parthian archetypes. There were a lot of local issues by unknown rulers that had these characteristics. Typically they are from places in the eastern Parthian frontier and Indo-Parthia. But I could be way off base. Another possibility - worth looking at, Joe - is an AE from Characene (a Parthian vassal kingdom) - something of this ilk: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=187043 Edited by Kamnaskires 07/08/2019 6:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 6:52 pm Perhaps Abinergaos II of Characene? I like the match-up of the king's tunic and the rendition of the rock that Herakles sits on on the reverse. I think the legend and monograms on the reverse are just gibberish, so I'm not concerned about any disagreements there. https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...us=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company= Here's some cutting and pasting for comparison.

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 8:48 pm Wow, thanks Bob! The red one of the two you send matches the color very well! But the one you posted is a better match for the figure. Edited by louisvillekyshop 07/08/2019 8:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
