ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2517 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 8:18 pm 11.5 dia 1.69g I'm not sure what to make of the obverse, it may be too far gone to orientate accurately. If I squint (something that Spence taught me ) I see a thick neck with a side profile that could face either way. The reverse seems to have text on the outer right, ending in AE about 3k, and there may be another letter just after 3k. I've been through Tesorillo, looking at reverse legends that might match the AE ending, but no joy with the shape that is visible. I can't get my head around the bowed leg rising up from the exergue, if that is what it is. I can't stop the thought that it is a 1960's rocker holding a microphone down low, and now I can't unsee it! ANY help would be appreciated. Grant The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Thanks so much Kamnaskires, this tiny coin has now become more interesting. I've narrowed down the acsearch parameters to seleukid apollo standing bow arrow Elvis microphone -helmeted -helmet -horse -drawing -hemidrachm -drachm -au -av -gold -seated but can't find a good match The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2517 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 10:09 pm Yes, agreed. I had already narrowed it down to the type SC 1055 and 1064; HGC 9, 562, And I am tentatively suggesting it is the second in your list, but by no means a settled argument. Appreciate your help....now if I could just get Elvis out of my head I can move on...LOL The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 John1, I applaude your ability to sniff out a competition. The idea is under consideration. Watch the competitions page in the coming weeks. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
