Looks like a bull standing left

 

Bing! Thank you.It Bactria?

 

I'm not familiar with this coin, so I cannot say without some research.

 

Can any ancient experts lend a hand? Thank you.

 

I can say i know something about Bactrian coinage. This is not a Bactrian coin in my opinion.

 

It looks Iberian, but let me do some research now that I have some time.

 

I can't seem to locate anything quite like it, but it resemples some of the coins from Castulo. Sorry.

 

possible options:

I think the Antioch, Syria area is the best possible lead. Probably 1st or 2nd century AD.

 

This is a little closer although on your coin I don't see anything above the bull.

From CNG's archives


SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Seleukos II Kallinikos. 246-225 BC. Æ 15mm (3.50 g, 12h). Uncertain mint associated with Antioch. Laureate head of Apollo right / Bull standing left; monogram to left. SC 708; SNG Spaer 432 var. (second monogram below bull). Near VF, rough brown patina. Rare.


Wildwinds doesn't have this type. I didn't check other places or online reference books.

Your bull/zebu (assuming that's what it is) has a mighty prominent hump. It almost looks like the letter "o".

 

Tif and Mikey Zee - Thank you.My coin no monogram of the letters, as in the example has the letters over the bull, I have a different type of coin. You're right.
