micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 4:03 pm Hello, I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! 1. Diameter 17mm, Weight 3.4g Sorry the quality is poor maybe Apollo / Zeus standing right i have found a similar at Olympia Elis but I am not sure, Apollo looks little different on my coin https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=479979 2. Diameter 15mm, Weight 3.0g Sorry the quality is poor as well Think comes from Sicily, maybe Apollo / Horse Report this Post to the Staff

Assuming Athena, there might be several possibilities such as Patrae/Patrai and others with right-facing "hurling" male figures for the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
