<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4222957, member: 56859"]Hmm, after a very quick search I can't find it either (searching all Lycian coins on asiaminorcoins). I assumed because of the lyre in incuse punch reverse, with visible Λ I, that it is Lycian. Maybe it's from somewhere else. What's the size and weight so I can keep it in mind as I troll through various sites?</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out [USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER]'s old lyre thread with punny title): <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/come-on-baby-like-my-lyres.310713/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/come-on-baby-like-my-lyres.310713/">Come on baby like my lyres</a> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.wixstatic.com%2Fmedia%2Fae43f8_f76e3a591954457d9da4c80c34eaeefa%7Emv2.jpg&hash=3cfcda10e1557d4a2dcd4f98000eecf4" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>TROAS, Alexandria.
