I was wondering if any of you know the ID for this coin. I've spent a lot of time in the last few days browsing ebay and different sections of Vcoins looking for a match (I started in Alexandria and wound up poking around in various Middle Eastern cities) but have had no luck. I can't even come up with any good search terms. (double-headed was all I could think of..). At any rate, here it is and any help would be appreciated!
Yeeeeikes! That's going to be tough since the only search words you have are common. It's going to be Greek, Roman Provincial, or Roman pseudo-autonomous, not that it helps much What's the size? Can you make out any of the letters on either side? It looks like there are a few near the perimeter on both sides.
Wow, were you remembering another you'd seen or did you hit that with some type of magic search? If so, clue me in It could be that coin but it's going to be difficult to say for sure.
The style of the busts looks right for Pergamon. There are other cities that issued Roma/Senate types, but the styles are distinctly different.
That was very, very fast! TIF--thanks for making me feel better about my absolute cluelessness. I thought I saw the remnants of some letters but not enough to be sure that's what I was seeing, let alone knowing what the characters were. JA--That was a virtuosic bit of IDing. I was absolutely stumped. Just finding coins with women on both sides seemed impossible..
