<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 24804594, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you so much [USER=26430]@Curtis[/USER] - you have definitely got me back on track with this one.&nbsp; I decided to do a broad acsearch using &quot;Gegenstempel kallatis&quot; - using the German brings up countermarks that get missed in English, I think.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>German auctions - 10 hits:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Gegenstempel+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Gegenstempel+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Gegenstempel+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In English there are 26 hits:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=countermark+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=countermark+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=countermark+kallatis&amp;category=1&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the thing that puzzles me a bit is the countermark head - some say Hermes (&quot;Kopf des Hermes&quot;) but others &quot;head of Perseus to right, wearing winged Phrygian helmet&quot; (Leu).&nbsp; In my inexpert opinion, yours looks more like Perseus, mine like Hermes?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I am a lot closer than I was before with this coin and I have you to thank - thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
