Diameter 8mm, Weight 0.6gr Very small coin, maybe Apollo/Horse 2. Diameter 13.5mm, Weight 2.8gr Maybe Neadria, Troas? looks like a horse but could also be a ram Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 4:17 pm Looking very carefully at the reverse of the first coin, I believe I can see a "P" at the top, and a grape bunch below the horse. Here's one that fits size-wise: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3582464 Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 4:20 pm I don't think the bull on #2 is grazing, Micha. Its head is up high. Compare with Tralleis bulls here...I realize the flan is tight on your coin, and so the dimensions of yours are bit smaller. Also "AΛ" is visible at the top of your coin: https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...us=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company= Edited by Kamnaskires 03/14/2021 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 4:37 pm As more I search it as much sure I am for Tralleis, maybe also Tralleis as Seleukeia, Autonomous issue with magistrate names, or Tralleis Lydia Civic, need to search it deeper for more details but I found some with head high, also 13mm, it comes from Tralleis as you said.
