micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 10:20 am Hello, I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! 1. Diameter 19mm, Weight 4.2gr From Sicily, low grade, maybe Apollo from hairstyle / Figure standing 2. Diameter 10mm, Weight 0.9gr Small coin, low grade, maybe Apollo from hairstyle / no idea for the reverse Report this Post to the Staff

Some parts of it do sort of resemble a swan with head reverted (preening), like some of the cruder issues from Ionia (Klazomenai and Leukai). Not everything matches up, though. If it's a swan, maybe an overstrike? Some examples of what I was thinking below. Report this Post to the Staff
micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 12:12 pm I am looking the coin now Bob, make sense and I can see some details of the wing, I will try to figure out from the size/weight if is Leukai or Klazomenai The other coin, could be a Mamertini? Apollo / Warrior, just the size and weight are not correct Report this Post to the Staff
