Kings of Pergamon, Philetairos. 282-263 BC. http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=264625
Good eye. I didn't see the tip of the bust at first.
It looks like a standard Rome mint dupondius to me. There are somewhat scarcer bronzes of Nero from an uncertain Balkan mint, probably Perinthus....
Why are you calling it provincial?
A good thought, but I don't see it in the references. The legends don't line up right. [IMG] LotsofCoppers - can you try to transcribe the...
Nope, most definitely not. This is what kind of coins were produced under the Latins in Constantinople: [IMG]
The reverse of the second one appears to read FOEDERATA/ LIBERA/ FECIT. Can't make out the rest of the legends. I think simply calling it a jeton...
"Byzantium hoard" is total marketing BS. If you look closely, you'll see that the vast majority of slabbed ancients are fairly common coins that...
What an odd way to cite a British auction firm. Did we lose the war in your timeline? ;-) Lovely coin.
The "owls" are probably Philistian. Something more like this: http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=280270

Before we all get in trouble, let's post some more tesserae: [IMG] EGYPT, Antinoöpolis PB Tessera (21mm, 4.14 g, 4 h) Dated year 2 of an...
Probably the worst movie quote to use in the bedroom.
As the cataloger of this lot, I can assure you that it is a rare depiction of an "uncertain." Back in ancient times, vast herds of uncertains...
A bronze of the city of Maroneia in Thrace, circa 398-347 BC.
Mandell 6.6, with the same difference in diameter as I mentioned for Hartill.
Do you have Mandell? I can look it up in my copy at home, if not.
Very cool! This is from only the third issue of coinage in Korea. I think Hartill 6.6? The size is closer to 6.4, but that has a long cap on the Bo.
The types on the base metal denarii are fairly free-wheeling, and obviously not standardized like at the official mints. I don't see why this...
This is the most interesting coin I've seen around here in a while. Can Doug or maridvnvm post examples of the other few known? And maybe the...
Separate names with a comma.
