<p>[QUOTE=&quot;limmle, post: 4575436, member: 113081&quot;]I bought this example at an auction in 2019 where it was still attributed to Nektanebo. I was aware of the new attribution, but the whole story is fascinating and the jury is still out on the actual ID. (it doesn’t seem likely that an AD attribution is likely just on the basis of the absence of any legend). Itwas a good price and I was the only bidder, so just the mystery of the coin is enough to warrant owning it. The countermark adds even more interest and mystery to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132820[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1132821[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Struck: Probably a Syrian mint between 4th cent.
