Nice coins all, but I love the Lamia
Congrats to your girlfriend and good luck.
Nice coin Mat. Love the reverse detail.
I do not collect these so therefore I am unable to assist in the identification. Perhaps someone with more knowledge on the subject might venture...
Looks Arabic and likely modern. Post the pic of the other side. It may help with ID.
It's one of the best I've seen. And who wouldn't love the provenance. Congrats.
I think you may have, but it's all right to speculate about the things lost to history. I do all the time.
Like your coins Mikey. TIF these are great. What is the TET in the second row? Is it Gallienus?
Thanks for the kudos Eddie, but around here everyone is more than willing to help out. Even some of us who have been collecting for a long while...
You have certainly obtained some interesting coins little brother. The Larissa coin is my fav, followed closely by the Kebren and Amisos coins.
Just as an example of what JA is explaining, here is a coin from Constantine II with different field marks, but still letters: [ATTACH]...
Yeah, what he said! Sorry. I can't help you with the T. I just accept it as part of the coin. I have many coins with field marks/letters....
The "cross" in the left field is a "T" rather than a cross, while the "cross" in the right field is actually a cross representing Christianity....
Don't schmooze him JA. He just gets a big head. [ATTACH]
The detail is great JA. I love it when the faces of the small characters on the reverse are detailed enough to see eyes, nose, mouth and ears....
Nice JA
