<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2663818, member: 19463&quot;]The anchor was the sign of the Seleucid kings.&nbsp; I assume the coin was accepted as good in their lands but there are different meanings for different marks and I have not studied this specific one.&nbsp; We may not know but there are usually experts who publish guesses.&nbsp; The anchor countermark shows up on a variety of coins.&nbsp; Below is one from Phaselis, Lycia.&nbsp; Many but not all were placed as if they were trying not to damage the original design.&nbsp; Not all c/m&#039;s were applied with such care. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]591580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
