Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 1:05 pm The description for this coin was Macedon, Amphipolis, 168 - 149 BC. The obverse does appear to be a young Dionysos, and the lower part of the legend "ΛΙΤΩΝ" is clear, though the upper "ΑΜΦΙΠΟ" isn't. I've tried lots of combinations of terms in searches, but can't find a match for the obverse and reverse. I can't find a goat reverse with the "ΑΜΦΙΠΟ / ΛΕΙΤΩΝ" legend and a monogram above and before either. The nearest match was this coin below on VCoins, but there is no mention of either monogram. Any help is appreciated. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 01/02/2021 6:04 pm Thanks for the reply Micha. I can find coins with the legend, or part legend too, but none with the monograms. Another mystery coin it would seem. Cheers, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 1:06 pm After countless searches, and many different search terms, I still can't find a match for this coin. I even went on ACSearch and typed in "goat", but no match. I must have looked at hundreds, if not thousands of goats to no avail. I think I'm done with goats! I guess this one is destined for the mystery box after all. Report this Post to the Staff
