[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 25321849, member: 110226"]This coin is a fairly recent arrival. The primary feature that attracted me to it is the well centered countermark that appears to an anchor, probably of Seleucid origin. Additionally there appears to be another countermark, to the right that could be an Aramaic "beth". I'm quite certain about the anchor, but not so sure about the Aramaic character. 16.69 grams [ATTACH=full]1617818[/ATTACH] Here's a closeup of the possible Aramaic character, which appears to be rotated, and and another moved 90 degrees. [ATTACH=full]1617819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1617820[/ATTACH] [IMG]https://content.invisioncic.com/k321387/monthly_2024_04/AramaicB2-20-22.jpg.511229ae2434fff2c78a86f7d4840053.jpg[/IMG] There's another countermark on the reverse, but it is kind of fuzzy. [ATTACH=full]1617821[/ATTACH] What do you think? Thanks![/QUOTE]
