:D Last summer I went to my first coin show (not counting coin shows when I was a child). All of my ancient numismatic camaraderie had been...
Seleukid was my first thought too but Zumbly's Bithynian example looks like a stronger possibility. Welcome to ancients, @SCDigginWithAK! :)
Well, you guys know how I can be... [IMG] :D
I think your obverse has a legend, unlike the various Phoenician bronzes with Tyche obverse. There also appear to be letters under the thing on...

A couple more of A-Pi :). Boy, I really need to buy a quality A-Pi coin! He deserves representation with a higher-end example. [IMG] year 10...
Happy birthday, Bing! Wonderful new coin, made more special by its purchase while abroad :) I have no Cappadocians but do have a ragtag...
