Hi all, I only occasionally wander into the greek coin realm and have no reference materials for any. I picked up 4 last November but just got around to photoing them. I will list what is on the 2x2's and give size and weight. If you can help with any further info it would be appreciated "Ptolomaic Kingdom" 38.86 MM and 41.3 grams "Magna Graecia Macedonia AE 18 MM 288-277 BC Macedonian shield and helmet" 18.03mm and 4.4 grams The next two are labeled the same although I can see differences "Greek Asia Minor 387-340 BC Troas, Kebrin Silver Hemiobol Ram's head r./ youthful male r. 7.22 mm and .4 grams 8.03 mm and .4 grams Thank you, Richard
1st one lQQks to me like Egypt Ptolemy(2nd maybe, or after 4th) 2nd one minted during what is called the"interregnum period" Macedon and i don't know 'bout the 3rd one.
The last coin looks like this AR coin of mine CARIA, KASOLABA AR Hemiobol OBV: Head of ram right REV: Head of young male right Struck at Caria, Kasolaba, circa 420-400 BC .5g; 8mm Konuk, Kasolaba 10; SNG Keckman 883-902
And the third looks like this one: ALEXANDER III AE Half Unit OBVERSE: Gorgoneion in the center of a Macedonian shield REVERSE: A Macedonian helmet; caduceus and NK monogram flanking below (Struck under Nikokreon) Struck at Salamis mint. Struck under Nikokreon 323-315 BC 4.9g, 15mm Price 3162
Wow, Ziggy => congrats on scoring four very cool OP-winners (I love all of 'em) Oh, and fantastic thread-additions by the usual suspects (you guys rock) Ummm, I have all of 'em, but I'm a real sucker for those sweet Kebren Ram coins ... Greek coins rock Congrats again, Ziggy ... those are great choices
I'm thinking this may be a match for number 4, what do others think? http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/caria/halikarnassos/SNGKayhan_996.jpg
