<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2755609, member: 82322&quot;]Here is an odd one.&nbsp; At first it looks like a common shield/helmet with B-A naming Alexander or some other &quot;A&quot; king from the period.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]632159[/ATTACH] </p><p>4.3g 16mm.</p><p>Obv: Macedonian shield with gorgoneion boss</p><p>Rev: Helmet, rose symbol to left, Imperial TIE-fighter to right</p><p><br /></p><p>The odd thing is the &quot;Macedonian&quot; shield has four rectangles and a half circle on the border instead of the more usual doubled half-circles.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse symbol of the rose is scarce but known.&nbsp; Richard Ashton believes the double-axe, Κ, and Μ issues are from Kaunos, the rose issue from Sardes, and the &quot;sideways DI monogram&quot; issue from an uncertain Northern mint. Ashton’s attributions are correlated with the number of specimens in regional Turkish museums.</p><p><br /></p><p>The IΘI symbol, that I joke looks like a TIE-fighter from star wars, is not a known symbol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
