Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 10:22 am Happy Saturdays to everyone from a sizzling GB. Here are another two which, for me at least, are definitely in the 'haven't a clue' category. Two poor quality bronzes, both of which appear to feature ships and a hint of inscription on one side. The other side of the coin on the left has a pair of profile portraits while the other side of the coin on the right has an off centre design I can't decipher at all, though to me it looks like part of an electric guitar! Left is 4.1g/20mm. Right is 5.9g/21mm. Thank you all for taking the time to look. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 11:14 am Recommendation for the coin at left. Go to coinproject.com. Use the advanced search option. For the metal select bronze. Your obverse has a double portrait, but the turreted one in front is likely Tyche. Therefore write Tyche for the Obverse Description. Your coin has a galley reverse, so write galley for Reverse Description. See if any of the results seem to match, and please let us know. Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 11:27 am So, these really do fall into the 'haven't a clue' category! Thanks for the advice Bob, I shall do what you suggest and report back if I find a match. Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 11:34 am Got it. Tyche and Zeus. AE21 or 22. Civic and Autonomous issues. Most likely Sidon. Fantastic suggestion. Thank you again. As for that coin on the right. ? Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 12:47 pm For the coin on the right one can convince themselves that they see Tyche with a Palm over her shoulder and a Galley. (I reoriented your coin, put the front and reverse in one photo, and have a reference for what I am thinking. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3295833 Edited by louisvillekyshop 08/08/2020 1:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 1:11 pm L - I think you're absolutely right, thank you very much. That palm/sprig (arrowed) is a match. As fascinating as it is I think this coin is a little too far gone. Probably one for the novelty box rather than the ancients tray. Edited by Hogarth 08/08/2020 1:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 2:15 pm It is Bob. Thank you again to you too. There are just a couple more to come. If possible I'll upload photos tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
