[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7586328, member: 84744"]I didn't have that volume of HGC when I was researching these originally - my notes say that the issue ended early in Philip's reign so I expect those HGC dates are right (following Fürtzwangler presumably). According to Fürtzwangler, the monogram was used for Antigonos II, Demetrios II, and Antiogonos III. You have to look at what other markings are on the coin. Yours is somewhat unusual in having the ANT monogram to the left, rather than between Pan's legs. The symbol to the right seems to be a Macedonian helmet, which puts it under Antigonos III? (Assuming that's the symbol in column A of Fürtzwangler's table below. The scan I have isn't very good.) Can you make out a symbol between Pan's legs? [ATTACH=full]1307159[/ATTACH] Unfortunately the row numbers are cut off, so you just have to count. :) I also don't speak German so the article is a struggle! As you can see, you're definitely overestimating my expertise and opinion here. I'm just muddling along too. :D[/QUOTE]
