<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-monolith-, post: 25482598, member: 150064&quot;]I recently purchased this coin. It was listed as &quot;Ionia, Magnesia ad Maeander ?&quot;. I was only able to find a couple other specimens that were also identified the same way. All images and descriptions (BMCG 14, Pages 160-161) are of a butting bull left, not right. Does anyone know if this is the correct identification:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1631184[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>The Auction Listing:</b></p><p>Ionia. Magnesia ad Maeander ? circa 350-200 BC.
