Beautiful! A correction, though. The reverse is Serapis-Ammon, not Serapis Pantheos. In addition to the kalathos (modius) and horn of Ammon, Serapis Pantheos has a radiate crown and there is a trident somewhere on the reverse-- an amalgamation of Osiris, Apis, Zeus/Jupiter, Sol/Helios, and Neptune/Poseidon.

Your drachm is Emmett 1049, year 20, R5; Dattari 1847.

 

muchas gracias

 

RPC 3.6107?

 

Looking at RPC online, the description for 3.6107 and 3.6106 are the same. Your coin matches both descriptions and the images for 3.6106.

For comparison, see RPC 3.6108 for Serapis-Pantheos.

Sarapis, Serapis... It can be spelled either way. Emmett and others spell it with an a; CNG with an e. I can't make up my mind but I should pick one way and stick with it

 

thanks again.


6106 no horns

 

Oh, you're right. I thought I saw a horn on that coin but I guess it is just hair curling behind the ear. 6107 it is then

 

I like ancients a lot but I'm scared by my ignorance and how easy it is to counterfeit them.

I picked this up at the last show but don't have the right books to really ID it like you guys do. What books do you recommend?
