<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8506445, member: 26430&quot;]From the pictures I can&#039;t read the legend (it&#039;s going to be something like ΣAPΔIANΩN + magistrate name), but it&#039;s a coin from Sardes in Lydia, late 2nd BCE. Below is a typical reference:</p><p><br /></p><p>Lydia, Sardes AE Unit (AE18), c. 130-100 BCE.</p><p>Obv: Head of youthful Herakles right, wearing lion&#039;s skin around neck</p><p>Rev: Apollo standing left, holding crow and laurel branch, all within laurel wreath.</p><p>Ref: (Depends on the magistrate.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a link to a few dozen examples. If you can read the legend/name on the reverse, you can find a more precise match/reference among these.</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=lydia+sardes+apollo+herakles&amp;category=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=lydia+sardes+apollo+herakles&amp;category=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=lydia+sardes+apollo+herakles&amp;category=1</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
