Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 6:08 pm Yikes--not much detail reminaing. While we wait for @bob to work his magic, I wonder if anyone can comment on the rough, arc-like swatch of coloration on both sides. Is that just surface discoloration or something like remnant solder from a prior mount?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 6:28 pm Looking at this a little closer, I'm thinking it looks a bit like a tetradrachm of Seleukos II. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 8:18 pm Reverse figure is leaning on a column. Perhaps Eleutheria?: https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...us=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company= Edit: Base metal peeking through? Maybe an ancient imitation of the Provincial Egyptian issues I linked to? For comparison of the reverse iconography, particularly the rendition of the column on this Otho: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ro...Default.aspx And a Galba of light weight like the OP example: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3651513 I think we may be on the right track but, if the OP is legit ancient, perhaps it's unofficial?
