Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/09/2024 12:25 am This is from an auction listing. It is listed as Roman but I know its not and I'm not familiar with this coin type/style. The diameter and weight are not in the listing though I suspect it is a smaller coin. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/09/2024 09:12 am Thanks Spence. I found possible bust matches on Mithradates II and Sintatruces. I found another Mithradates II with a reverse match (bust does not match). The coin with the matching reverse is a tetrachalkon at 4 grams and 17 mm. Report this Post to the Staff

Consider dropping them a dm if they don't see this thread in the next couple days.
