<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2701410, member: 76544&quot;]I was just looking through the far too many coins on my desk and I spotted this kind of ragged and non-photogenic, but interesting, 14mm Greek bronze:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]608040[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Apollonia Pontika, Thrace; mid 4th-3rd centuries BC</p><p>Ox: Laureate head of Apollo right.</p><p>Rx: ΔIXA - ΛKIH: Anchor; A to left, crayfish to right</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse inscription certainly seems to be Greek for &quot;dichalkon&quot;, which is also the denomination of the coin. I was trying to think of any other ancients that included the coin value as part of the inscription but couldn&#039;t come up with any. Curious if anyone knows of any other examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
