<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1704051, member: 44140&quot;]I have had this coin for about 2 years and have tried several times to attribute the coin to a reference. I have seen many Illyrian drachms and they all look very similar with different legends and different numbers of rays in the reverse geometric pattern. I have seen quite a few for sale, in past sales and posted by others across every coin forum. These coins seem to be very abundant as of late. I bought this coin on the bay for like $20 attributed only to Illyria. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not own a good reference for these coins, and have failed to find an online match to my coin. So I can only provide you the information I can get off the coin, and from my limited exposure. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was minted while the Illyrian tribes were acting as a Protectorate of Rome.I know the city is correct from the legend and the direction of the cow. Otherwise HELP.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apollonia, Illyria</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Drachm 17.3 mm x 3.19 g</p><p>Obv. Calf suckling cow. ARISTWN?</p><p>Rev. Geometric Pattern.
