<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8348415, member: 128351&quot;]Interesting, but I don&#039;t see what you mean... Could you please illustrate this with examples? Which &quot;Edomite&quot;, which Lihyan coin looks like yours? For me, the Edomite coinage is mostly dome-shaped coins (because dies have been recut and repolished several times). And the Lihyanite coins do not at all have this style... (or there is no reason for a Lihyan attribution). </p><p><br /></p><p>I think your coin looks more like some of the imitative owls from the &quot;1973 Iraq Hoard&quot; published by Van Alfen ( <a href="https://www.academia.edu/788121/_The_owls_from_the_1973_Iraq_hoard_American_Journal_of_Numismatics_12_2000_pp_9_58" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/788121/_The_owls_from_the_1973_Iraq_hoard_American_Journal_of_Numismatics_12_2000_pp_9_58" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/788121/_The_owls_from_the_1973_Iraq_hoard_American_Journal_of_Numismatics_12_2000_pp_9_58</a> ):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1480932[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what he wrote about them :</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1480933[/ATTACH]</p><p>The hoard was buried in 323/2 BC. Because some of these imitations are die-linked, Van Alfen supposes they did not circulate a long time and were likely minted not far from Babylon. But in which direction? North Arabia, North or South Mesopotamia?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
