Cool coin! I don't know how you guys can ID a lot of these with all the different one's. I'm a little light on info. for this as I'm addicted to the more modern coins.
Hoping someone can help!
Where can you find an Ancient collector at this hour? An old graveyard perhaps?

 

It's a start

 

Diameter and weight would assist with the identification.

 

O Will get weight and measurement. Hopefully it helps

Similar.... but do not think that it is a match... Different Portrait... different script... different cornucopia....

 

Could it be a coin of Kaunos in Caria?

 

That was my thinking, too! And for good reason based on the combination of what looks like "KA" and the large cornucopia on the OP coin example. But after about an hour of online searching the other night, even though I found multiple examples with VERY similar reverse designs, I was unable to find an obverse that matched. Perhaps it's a very rare type from Kaunos?

(BTW: I learned that when searching for any Kaunos in Caria coin type, to also use the spellings: Caunus and Karia.) The hour I spent reminded me not only of the old adage: "Buy the book before the coin" (so you know what you are buying), but also of its deserved corollary: "Secure an attribution before buying the coin" (so you know what you are buying). :-o

 

Hello GinoLR y compañeros:
It's true, but the motifs are so similar that I thought it could be somewhere around there... but it's true, it's not.... anyway, I'll keep looking. In wildwinds

The closest thing is this...


but it has a "K" and the one here has a "CA" on the left.... above the "A" I think I see a "pileus" Could it be or is it just my eyes?
anyway, I'm still looking for the Seleucids.

By the way, beautiful coin.

Kind regards

By the way, beautiful coin.

 

Hello everyone.
Well, I've been to Kaunos in Caria, Phrygia, Asian Coins, the entire Seleucid Empire, Cilicia, Egypt and the Ptolemies... and this cornucopia is making things difficult for me. Okay, a KA on the left, and... excuse my ignorance, but, on both sides of the "cornucopia", what is there? (discarding the "pileus" thing, a blunder) are they a sceptre and rudder? silphium plants? I know they aren't, but if you give me your opinion, maybe I can find something.
I'm still on the trail of Alexander II Zebinas, maybe an unposted coin? or a rare specimen? The designs are very similar... anyway
Sorry, but I've recently returned to amateur identification and I'm out of shape.
For my part I have had a good day enjoying the search.
Greetings to all and have a good weekend.

 

The OP is Not Seleucid. Someone would probably need to spend some time looking through Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum to find this exact type.

 

Thank you, I'll go through with it.

 

When it comes in I'll be getting weights and measurements

 

Came in today. Super neat. I love this coin !
