<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 3719780, member: 90772&quot;]The coin you initially asked about looks like a coin from the Phoenician Levant probably from Marathos (Marathus). When Ptolemy II married Arsinoe, widow of Lysimachus, she brought as her dowry some of the cities of Ionia and Phoenician Marathos. The veiled female portraits on Marathos coins are usually attributed as the later Berenike II. See Wildwinds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin seems unusually thin, worn, and underweight so who knows? I personally wouldn&#039;t be too quick to dismiss it. These coins can be really beat up. Some have been found under water ground down by the sand and tides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
