[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 2838202, member: 88829"]I had a little time to look at this today, but I won't be able to help you much. I think this is your coin: [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=85437q00.jpg&vpar=598&zpg=91439&fld=http://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/[/url] If the link does not work for you please let us know so we can give more comment on the design. The letters at the top (mem-aleph-nun) are a titular abbreviation, and so will not parse out to a single word. As for the obverse figure, what is the basis for identifying it as a representation of Yamm? There is nothing about the image itself that would draw me to that conclusion. The use of waves in the design of the reverse may or may not have anything to do with the obverse. BTW now that this is a "featured" thread, further discussion of this second coin should be in a thread of its own.[/QUOTE]
