ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2503 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 10:38 pm I purchased some greek coins, all fairly toasted by the ages, and I would appreciate some help with attribution. Here is the first It is 2.51g and 12mm max dia. Obv has a head right which appears (to me at least) to be bearded. Rev has an animal right. The 2x2 it came in says Kopf (head) / Widder (ram) Ionien Miletos vor 240 v.chr? The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 12:34 am "vor 240 v Chr." is German for "before 240 BC". Ionien = Ionia (region), Miletos = Miletus (city of issue). In my quick search I'm not really finding any confirmation that Miletus issued such coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

If I replace Miletus with Klazomenai , I get a lot more "promising" returns. But nothing I could hang my hat on. In the absence of anything more concrete, I'll add them to my unknown Greek stuff.
