I'll guess Zumbly, because status quo.
I have no Greek coins yet, here is a Prutah from the second year of the First Jewish Revolt. 67-68AD
"The freedom of Zion"

Entry period has closed everyone but no worries if you are late to the party because you can still get in on the fun in the 3rd round which is up and running.

I hope everyone had fun guessing in the first round and are now familiar with how the game is meant to operate. So without further ado...

Anonymous Coin #2
View attachment 707257
ACHAIA, Achaian League
Sikyon. Circa 195-188 BC.
AR Triobol / Hemidrachm
Dia.: 14.5 mm
Wt.: 2.4 g
Obv.: Laureate head of Zeus right
Rev.: Achaian League monogram; Σ-I across field. EY below; all within wreath.
Ref.: Benner 3; BCD Peloponnesos 321.2; HGC 5, 282.

Why I included it in my collection:
I collect coins from the Greek city-state of Sikyon. This piece is a hemidrachm struck at Sikyon during its membership in the Achaean League. I like it because it goes with my other coins from Sikyon and allows for the opportunity to collect coins from the other members of the league as a set.

How the Game Works

The object of the game is pretty simple: Guess which CT member the above coin belongs to out of the five participating members.

@FitzNigel
@Curtisimo
@H8_modern
@zumbly
@Severus Alexander

This is the 2nd of 5 total game threads. After I post all coins and allow for three days time for each thread I will hold a drawing to select 5 winners from those who played the game. Participants can earn multiple chances to win based on the following rules.

Guess who the owner of the coin is and give a reason why you think that. (Ex.: I believe that this coin belongs to Curtisimo because he likes that kind of ancient coin.) This is the minimum requirement for entry into the drawing. Please include a reason with your guess!

Anyone who posts a photo of a coin along with their guess (related or not) OR gives a particularly well thought out or amusing reason why you guessed a certain person will receive an extra chance to win.

Anyone who guesses correctly will receive an extra chance to win

Anyone who is a young numismatist (age 18 or younger) will receive an extra chance to win. If you are a YN please say so in your entry post.

In total there can be up to 4 chances to win for each member in each thread!

A Note to our Selfless Members!

Many of you may not feel comfortable entering a giveaway because you would rather see the prizes go to a less experienced collector. That is a very admirable sentiment and I am prepared to make arrangements so that all of our members can feel comfortable playing and entering. This series of threads is more about having fun than about exchanging coins and I want as much participation from our long time and experienced members as possible. If you end up winning and you would rather the prize go to someone else you can either designate that person or allow me to choose on your behalf.

A Note to the Volunteers

If you would like to follow along with the results of the poll feel free to vote for yourself.
