[QUOTE="Napata, post: 2319446, member: 76197"]As I can't edit posts after a certain time, here are the reuploaded photos. For Windows users, Paint suffices. I repeat some part of the opening post in order to make it easier to put into context. =================================================== The following coins are really small, about 5 mm (or less than 1/4"). Here is the first Cilician tetartemorion easily identified as a Troxell & Kagan #2b. Obverse: Running Archer iconography. Reverse: Facing Apollo (or female facing figure). I think Apollo is sometimes represented with braids just as on the coin.

I think it is Troxell & Kagan #2a. The dirt and wears make it difficult to identify, especially the facing Apollo. As for the running archer/king, its strike is rather off and only the upper body can be seen. The bow faintly emerges when the lighting is right. Not the same dies as first tetartemorion.
