<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8237720, member: 19463&quot;]Certainly not a match but yours reminds me of my &#039;Uncertain, Caria&#039; AR 0.13g, 7mm coin I am calling a hemitartemorion based on its similarity to SNG&nbsp; Kayhan 968 which weighs 0.29g and is called a &#039;Milesian standard tetartemorion&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449518[/ATTACH] </p><p>I really doubt the use of the denomination names here and have no idea how the weight system worked there and then.&nbsp; Kayhan also shows shows this type in a much larger size (2.21g) with bull right but SNG Kayhan 969 is left facing and 0.31g.&nbsp; That is hardly a match.&nbsp; I suspect there are a hundred variations on these bull filled coins soit is tempting to force catalog numbers on coins that are not the same.&nbsp; I consider these neat little coins but they are not for collectors allergic to question marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was just given a tiny silver that came with an incorrect ID but I believe I am right calling it a Unofficial or Celtic imitation of Emporion, Spain, 0.16g and broken but others I have found online that are intact make me wonder if that is not close to correct weight.&nbsp; My problem is that I have not found any &#039;official&#039; coins of this type but there are a lot of &#039;imitations&#039; mostly flagged as rare.&nbsp; It has a head and a Pegasus rendered in poor style.&nbsp; I have never seen another but suspect someone found a bunch and I got the worst one which explains why it was a gift.&nbsp; Better examples still have poor style but sell for more.&nbsp; If anyone knows the story on these, please tell me.&nbsp; This has been referenced as Burges 1196 and CNH 16A (addenda) but I do not have those to check.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449533[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
