My daughter picked this out at the lcs and I've seemed to hit a dead end trying to attribute it for her. I believe that it is an altar within a laurel wreath on one side and perhaps a peacock on the other. Any thoughts would be appreciated. It's 14 mm, 3.4 g Thanks
It's Greek to me . It may be from Sikyon. Compare it to these examples (all from CNG's archives) SIKYONIA, Sikyon. Circa 225-200 BC. Æ Tetrachalkon (3.45 g, 10h). Dove feeding right / Tripod within wreath tying below. Warren, Bronze 6B.3a; BCD Peloponnesos 318.5. VF, dark brown and green patina. SIKYONIA, Sikyon. Circa 196-146 BC. Æ Trichalkon (2.88 g, 5h). Dove feeding right; (AP)I below / Tripod within wreath tying below. Warren, Bronze 9.3; BCD Peloponnesos 332.3. VF, green and brown patina. SIKYONIA, Sikyon. Circa 225-200 BC. Æ Trichalkon (17mm, 3.16 g, 1h). Dove feeding right; ΣI above / Tripod-lebes within wreath tying below. Warren, Bronze 6B.3a; BCD Peloponnesos 318.5. VF, green patina. Well struck for issue. The basic elements are there.
that's very close ... good effort TIF => oh, and good luck, archicard (it's cool to see that your daughter is interested in coins)
Thanks TIF, your information helps a lot. I've never checked out the CNG archives before. It seems to be a great resource and is now bookmarked.
She is the only 8 year old that I know that is into ancient coins. It's funny to see her talk about her favorite emperors with her friends and see the blank stares as they listen.
