    Hello Friends,

    Apparently this coin rare !!!!! This coin AITΩΛΩN AITOLIA. Aitolian League. Ae (Circa 279-168 BC)......https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2711638

    But my fortune is a horn of plenty with obverse Posedon god of the sea. I did not find this anywhere else.

    Thanks for letting.

    Hello Friends,

    Hi Paschka,

    I don't see anything that makes me think the acsearch coin you showed is related to your coin. The obverse and reverse devices are different and the reverse legend doesn't look like a match, although it's hard to see in your pictures.

    I don't know the attribution of your coin, but the obverse appears to be Herakles right, with club over shoulder. The reverse figure might be Harpokrates. He is depicted holding a finger to his mouth and often holds a cornucopia.

    If I come across a possible match I'll post it here. I looked for a match when you first posted this coin but didn't spend much time on it. Perhaps you can use the search term "harpokrates" to find a candidate.

    TRALLEIS.
    No.: 897
    Schätzpreis/Estimate: EUR 100.-
    d=21 mm
    Gordianus III. Pius, 238 - 244. Bronze. Drap., gep. Büste mit L. n. r. Rv. TRALLI - ANWN Nackter Harpokrates frontal stehend, Kopf mit Krone n. l., Umhang im Rücken, in der Linken Füllhorn haltend, die Rechte zum Munde geführt; zu seinen Füssen Pavian(?) mit Polos n. l. sitzend. 4,61 g. Vgl. BMC 361, 200 (Gallienus, gleiche Rv. - Darstellung). Unediert, seltene ägyptisierende Darstellung.
    Av. Knapp sehr schön. Rv. Sehr schön
    Leider lassen die bekannten Exemplare die eindeutige Identifikation der sitzenden Figur nicht zu; in der alexandrinischen Münzprägung kommt Harpokrates mit verschiedenen Begleitern vor, s. Dattari Tf. XIV.

    Yes, that is an example of Harpokrates. I don't think your coin is from that city (Traellis) though.

    Looking at your prior link and other coins of Aitolia, perhaps you have the city correct. If you're unable to find a match in the usual free databases (wildwinds, acsearch, CNG archives, etc), I'd suggest looking through the reference books for other coins of Aitolia. Maybe some of the reference works are old enough to be available for online viewing.

    Andres, I do know that it is 2 different coins. But I put them because of the inscription of the city name that is different from those the same coin.

    Hello pashka: Since posted its currency, I'm trying to learn with her ...
    I think I should have looked for another ...
    Harpokrates on the back, here was going well, look for Wildwids since the bust seemed to me that even could be of Septimius Severus, as I told I'm learning ... nothing here, nothing there, on the page of Antoninus Pius I saw one of Cibyra, Phrygia, whose letters seemed relate, and ended up in "Asian minor coins", and ... no, I reviewed the 60 pages bronze coins and ... nothing.

    I leave if they could be of any use, those of Harpokrates and whose other letters seemed significant ...

    So far I've had a great time with their currency but
    I am expectant waiting for identification or news about it.

    Many thanks.

    Cordiales Saludos.

    Thanks friends!!!!! In honor of indescribable coins I have, I Accepted your congratulations and admiration. Not every day, unknown to science coin buying. This is a rare phenomenon. I bought in September 10 coins, and only one of them previously unknown and rare 4.

    AITΛ ΛΩN - there probably because the letters are read and it is not AITOLIA?

    Ancientone thank you, you're probably right. Obverse: there is a portrait of Hercules or unknown god?

    Where do you find the correct description of this coin?
