Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 3:28 pm This was a prized coin of mine because of the age of it. But just how old is the question. Bow over helmet was common Right now I figure it to be anywhere from 320 BC to 100 BC. Any help narrowing that down if possible would be appreciated. about 15 mm, 3.2 g Edited by Seeker_101 01/19/2024 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 01/20/2024 1:28 pm Thank you. That is definitely a possibility. What do you think of this one for a match? https://www.colleconline.com/en/ite...-poliorketes https://www.ebay.com/itm/2840836584...mkgroutmp=no Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 01/21/2024 8:38 pm It would be nigh on impossible to identify the coin exactly from the images. There may be details that can be seen "in hand" that don't show on the photographs, but there are many varieties of this type of coin. Diameter and weight can help, though a definite attribution may not be possible. Report this Post to the Staff
