Recently came across this large, 33mm, provincial which is obviously Severus Alexander. I'm pretty sure it is from Philomelium Phrygia but just...
Bought a small group of Parium, Mysia Provincials at the FUN show. They all had either the Capricorn or wolf/twins reverse. Most were no problem...

Beginning late in the first century AD a means of easing political and social strife between neighboring cities in Asia Minor came about through...
I bought this 20 years or so ago and I just put it away at that time. I don't know if this was some modern creation or an ancient coin weight...
I purchased this bronze a while back and assumed it was a scarcer type from Irenopolis Cilicia with a club on the obverse and a winged caduceus on...
Sticking with @TIF's Provincial theme this week I thought it would be nice to give an example away. This one's an Alexandrian (Egypt) Tetradrachm...

Since the give-away of that slabbed coin a couple of weeks ago was a smashing success I thought I'd try it again. This one isn't slabbed, it's a...

These two coins came in a small group I bought recently. They are Seleukid Kingdom types (both are 16mm) issued by Seleukos II Kallinikos, with...

Came across this 16mm Ephesus issue a few days ago and for some reason had to buy it. The obverse with the bee is quite nice but the reverse is...
