Just an opinion: Some of the best horses are the offerings of ancient Larissa in Thessaly. Horses were very important in their culture and coins often show the horse doing something besides just standing there. Years ago, a friend who owned horses pointed out that there is a series showing stages of the process of a horse rolling down on the ground. Perhaps any of you with horse experience can comment on this.
Very nice Doug. The Helios you posted I usually see on coins from ancient Rhodes. Lemme see what I can come up with. Most of my collection is in Picassa and not available for posting. Daniel Carr's - Pegasus Washington - My favorite American Equis Quadriga - Celtic imatation ??? Horse - Carthage Biga - Syracuse (Sicily)
That is not Helios but the nymph Larissa. Helios would have to be wearing a radiate crown and would not have a horse:
Thank you Doug. So many posibilities and so many doubts. British Crown with ribbon Philip of Macedon Afgani circa 900 AD non horse was looking for Roman fallen horseman Mountie Doug nice Rose of Rhodes.
From India in the 13th century is a small bronze with a very stylized horse that almost looks like the cursive legend that accompanies it. Nasir al-din Muhammad Qarlugh AE jital I generally don't collect modern British coins but this came to me in a trade. This is clipped more than most I've seen but has a decent horse. Most of the mintmark seems to be lost. If you know the series and have a certain ID, please comment. Charles I halfcrown I thought I had showed these before but could not find them when I looked through the several pages of coins I have posted on CT. Is there a utility that would allow me to go in and put them in some kind or order so I could avoid duplicating myself? How?
Which one....from the first or second post? The one from the first post is a German Propoganda Medal 1914 The second post one is from Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian one is the one I meant. Thanks! I have about 20 coins I can't ID because they're in Cyrillic, Asian characters or Islamic characters. This knocks one off my list.
I use this link to id world coins. It has a number of methods that you can try to identify what you have. http://worldcoingallery.com/
Can I help you, sir? I know Cyrillic 'cos I'm Russian. Share your Cyrillic coins and I'll answer on your questions.
Thanks Ikandiggit and Siberia Man. It is kind of a labor intensive process to scan all the coins and upload them so that's why I haven't done so, but if I can't ID them I will ask. I don't want to hijack Ripley's thread here.
