[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 2849624, member: 87809"]Thank you very much Ancient Aussie and Theodosius for the info and the heads up.:-) Have been trying to read the legend under different light conditions. They are definitely very hard to decipher. It seems that the legends on the provincial coins are sometimes difficult to read :-( the most similar one is this one, which is one of the variations that Ancient Aussi sent: [url]https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=129138[/url] As we can see also here the legends are unreadable (at least for me) and apparently cng can't read them either.... On my coin, the left symbols on the reverse could well be KAI, but on the right I read ΠA which doesn't seem to match the coins in the links that Ancient Aussi sent for comparison. But I could very well be wrong. On the obverse it is even harder, on the left it could be ?CCI or ?ECI or any of these last two but ending in A. There is something under his chin, but definitely unreadable .. however, I think the reference RPC 5003; Milne 5; Emmett 3 might be right. Thanks again for your valuable input, it is very, very much appreciated! Will be sending another indecipherable one later asking for your help Chris[/QUOTE]
