TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 3:33 pm Hi all, I would like to know exactly what this coin is. It's 3.5grams and basically the only coins I've found like this with this exact design with Nike standing left are gold staters. I am sure this is silver, so could it be a later Macedonian copy of some kind? Can't find this coin on wildwinds. Would appreciate identification. Many thanks in advance.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 5:37 pm Maybe a Marathos/Marathus imitative type drachm, perhaps unpublished (?), modeled on the AV staters of Macedon? If you don't pin it down, I recommend contacting George Halabi via Academia.edu. See his article on the series there. Yours seems to have a trident in the reverse left field. I've seen staters with that symbol, but haven't spotted any drachms from Marathos/Marathus with it. Report this Post to the Staff
