This is a bronze coin AE10mm., and weighs 0.9gm. It appears to have a (non-centred) Laureate head facing right on the obverse and a square incuse punch, which may have a circle inside with a diagonal cross, on the other. Does anyone have any clues as to the origin, please? These are photos of the reverse rotated a couple of times.
Reminds me a little bit of these Lycian types (crossed bow / quiver in incuse square was a typical image). Even similar size (though this one's a bit heavier): https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8002549
@Curtis I am impressed. I spent countless hours on this one and came up with nothing. I don't know how you did it, but I am indebted to you. Thank-you.
No problem! I can tell you how! Keyword searching is the trick... I couldn't tell what the design was, but I thought there's something "crossed," inside a "square," and "AE": which gave me these on ACSearch.info: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=crossed+square+ae&category=1&lot=&thesaurus=1 The two Lycian League I recognized as a typical symbol, crossed bow & quiver, but those examples weren't quite right. Lycian coins get lots of different spellings, and I figured some might not actually use the word "crossed," so next I tried Square, Bow, Quiver, AE and it came up fourth in the list: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=square+bow+quiver+ae&category=1&lot=&thesaurus=1&order=1 Playing around with different terms might give you others, but it seems like it might be a rarity... I don't see any in Wildwinds or Corpus Numorum or ANS. I wonder if anyone else catalogs Lycian (or Lykian) League coins online.
I think Troxell is go to reference for these small bow/quiver Lycian League issues but other than acsearch, I'm not aware of anything online.
