<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2353637, member: 56859&quot;]Thank you, Martin.&nbsp; Despite using a variety of search terms I missed that example.&nbsp; I wonder how many others I have missed?&nbsp; Even now when I search acsearch with &quot;Pharnabazus&quot; as the term, this coin does not come up.&nbsp; Hmm.&nbsp; (edit: the listing was auto-translated.&nbsp; I reverted it back to its original German and copied the key search terms.&nbsp; It was the only hit looking for this coin in German.&nbsp; I wonder if I&#039;ll need to try other languages too?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a copy of that acsearch listing:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479326[/ATTACH]</p><p>GREEKS</p><p>KINGDOM Achaemenid</p><p>PERSIAN satraps. Pharnabazus, satrap of Daskyleion, about 413 -.. 388 BC AE (0.51 g). 399 -. 390 BC Mzst.. Kisthene in Mysia. Vs .: Bearded head with Phrygian cap number, behind Φ (?) Rev .: KIΣ, Protome a winged boar nr HA Troxell, Orontes, Starap of Mysia, SNR 60, 1981, p 30, 7. Winzer 9.1. RR! Dark green patina, partial editions, ss</p><p>The type is assigned by Troxell Orontas who minted other, uniquely named coins in Kisthene. The Φ on the coin Winzer 9.1 however has this emission to Pharnabazus.</p><p>Gorny &amp; Mosch, Auction 212, lot 2281,&nbsp; 5 March 2013</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still not clearly seeing the Φ although perhaps there is a hint of it on this G&amp;M coin.&nbsp; The attribution to Pharnabazos seems to hinge on that one letter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
