Am I on the right track? Roughly 15 mm in diameter with a weight of 1.85 grams. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 05/19/2022 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 9:13 pm Thank you. Apparently it's a drachm of Antimachos II (160-155 BC), Nike reverse. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 05/19/2022 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
