oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 06/23/2024 6:09 pm This weighs 9.26 grams, diameter 23 mm. Partial lettering on the reverse appears to be: CAITIΠΠΩ_ Obverse: _ _ _C_ _CΛ _ _ In the exergue it appears to be: εΡΜΟC Needless to say some of the letters could be wrong.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 06/23/2024 8:02 pm I have now. The reverse legend clearly indicates this is the city and the god is Hermos, not Nilus. Now I need to match the obverse Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 05:22 am The legends and images are close, but the weight is about half of the weight of my specimen. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 09:04 am The heaviest of the Saitta Senate/Hermos combos I'm seeing for the ΕΡΜOC variant at RPC Online is 8.23 g. Some heavier, similar coins at acsearch, the first two listed as assaria, include the following. 9.3 g https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9569311 8.8 g https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7768947 9.17 g https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4241256 Edited by Kamnaskires 06/24/2024 09:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
