<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4536805, member: 110226&quot;]Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking, hopefully no doubt, that this coin might be close to the example below:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.coinarchives.com/6cf21dc19aa1c19ad4fc85ae78f29b32/img/roma/e70/thumb00810.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Kleopatra VII Thea Neotera Æ21. Tripolis, dated Phoenician RY 2 = 36/5 BC. Diademed and draped bust right / Nike, holding wreath and palm, standing right on prow of galley; [ΤΡΙΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ] to left, [L B (date) to right]. Svoronos 1895 corr. (read as RY 22); RPC I 4510 var. (star on rev.); DCA 726; SNG Copenhagen 174; CRI 899. 8.30g, 21mm, 12h.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=1642103&amp;AucID=3486&amp;Lot=810&amp;Val=d73966273295e424e708bf689fab2d7f" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=1642103&amp;AucID=3486&amp;Lot=810&amp;Val=d73966273295e424e708bf689fab2d7f" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=1642103&amp;AucID=3486&amp;Lot=810&amp;Val=d73966273295e424e708bf689fab2d7f</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse of my coin has the large nose and the hair in a bun at the lower back of the head.&nbsp; It is clearer in hand. I&#039;m still trying to learn how to take decent photos of dark, crusty bronze coins - a real challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse on my coin is weak and flat.&nbsp; There is a standing figure in the center that seems to be facing right and something towards the bottom that looks like a galley prow pointing right, but its all quite flat, dark and muddy - nothing nearly as clear as Roma&#039;s example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
