<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 25915324, member: 92212&quot;]That was my thinking, too! And for good reason based on the combination of what looks like &quot;KA&quot; and the large cornucopia on the OP coin example.&nbsp; But after about an hour of online searching the other night, even though I found multiple examples with VERY similar reverse designs, I was unable to find an obverse that matched.&nbsp; Perhaps it&#039;s a very rare type from Kaunos?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(BTW: I learned that when searching for any Kaunos in Caria coin type, to also use the spellings: Caunus and Karia.)&nbsp; The hour I spent reminded me not only of the old adage: &quot;Buy the book before the coin&quot; (so you know what you are buying), but also of its deserved corollary: &quot;Secure an attribution before buying the coin&quot; (so you know what you are buying). :-o[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
