Wow, super example, Bing. I've always been puzzled over the weight range for these so called quarter-folles. I've seen anything from 1.5g to over 4g. Odd, given they're all from the same mint and struck within a relatively short span of time.

I love all the posts!!!...especially the 'Greek' coinage---that man-headed bull type has been on my want list since I last owned a low-grade Boeotian Shield with an 'apparent' man/bull type on the reverse..

I was sure I had a 'Roman' Siscia or others with a 'S' mint, but apparently not...so I'll wait the remainder of this thread out on the 'side-lines' ----unless I find any I still have that I'm overlooking...

 

here is my most recent S coin...Selge

 

I found one at least:

Julian the Apostate, also known as Julian II (Reduced Follis)---Sirmium mint, Helmeted and left-facing; Vota/wreath reverse:

 

I have this urge to post Shakya for “S”. However, the kingdom of Shakya in the foothills of the Himalayas was an ancient Janpada of India. I think the words “Janpada” and “Kingdom” define it as more of a state than a city. I’ll post it anyway & take the heat.
