micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 2:39 pm Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my Greek coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! Diameter 18mm, Weight 5.5g, Bronze Horse (?) right / Eagle standing with spread wings, head right there some letters under the horse but the coin is in very poor quality and I can't read them i tried a lot but I couldn't find anything similar, it was on a lot with Greek coins mostly from Sicily Report this Post to the Staff

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 4:07 pm I have seen them earlier while I was doing the search for Horse, I also tried Bull. Looks similar but I noticed that the OBVLCO on the Obulco coins is on the eagle side not the bull side, also the eagle is little different. I will search it again for Obulco and see how it goes. Thank you once again Bob! Report this Post to the Staff

The bull has bigger or smaller horns, or longer legs. The legends are above or below the eagle or bull, or both. Unless you have a reference it might be difficult to find a match.
