    Last few of the latest batch from my retiring collector. I suspect these are all Greek, but with little or no decipherable writing, I don't know where to search for more details.
    First one (A) is the best condition, approx 20mm across and weighs 7.25g:

    Second one (B) about 21mm across and weighs 8.52g:

    Third one (C) 21mm and 8.34g. (Colour cast issue from camera - correct colour is right half of image):
    Unid Ancient C1-horz.jpg

    Fourth one (D) 23mm at the max, 12.98g:
    Unid Ancient D1-horz.jpg

    Thanks for any help - even if it is a guide as to which section on Wildwinds to head for!

    Certainly similar, but the size and weight of mine are much higher. Looking on Wildwinds I can see several similar but none exactly the same. I may have to just accept an approximate ID. Thanks!

    Could that be a stag rather than a horse on the third one? Perhaps with Artemis on the obverse?
