micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 1:57 pm Hello, I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! 1. Diameter 16mm, Weight 5.5gr My search took me to Tauromenion Sicily, Apollo / Bull I think the coin is rare but I am not sure 100% if is that There is also some tracks of lettering on top of the bull as the sample link below but they are very hard to read, also some tracks of lettering left of Apollo https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1928546 2. Diameter 14x16mm, Weight 4.9gr Low grade, maybe Seleukid? Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 2:29 pm You are likely correct with the Seleukid guess for #2. If you look closely you can see the remnants of ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ in the right reverse field. Also, the "ball" at the elbow of the standing figure (probably Apollo) is likely the top of a tripod he's resting on.
