<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jb_depew, post: 3524772, member: 88227&quot;]I&#039;ve got a few earlier examples from the area. The horse in the larger denomination from Alexandria looks like one of those two-person costume horses, or has a vitamin deficiency.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/3XuUd5q.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Troas, Alexandria Troas Æ 13mm</p><p>Circa 3rd century BC</p><p>Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right</p><p>Reverse: AΛΕΞΑΝ, Horse grazing left, monogram below; thunderbolt in exergue</p><p>References: BMC 10, Scarce</p><p>Size: 13mm</p><p>Weight: 2.19g</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/D3DGYBm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Troas, Alexandria Troas Æ 16mm</p><p>(Dotted border on obverse)</p><p>Size:16mm</p><p>Weight: 3.91g</p><p>Same details as above. I don&#039;t know if BMC recognizes different denominations of this type. This is clearly larger and heavier than the other example I posted, but perhaps the weight and dimensions weren&#039;t well regulated. Would be interested in knowing!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZZ8coPL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Troas, Tenedos AR Obol</p><p>450-387 BC</p><p>Obverse: Janiform head, female on left, male on right</p><p>Reverse: Labrys within incuse square.</p><p>References: SNG Ashmolean 1235; HGC 6, 387</p><p>Size: 7mm</p><p>Weight: .51g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
