[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3856649, member: 85693"]I thought this would be easy, but I am having trouble figuring out this small Greek (presumably) AE. Poor condition is not helping matters, but I can't even get close. The obverse (?) seems to be a horse and (rider?). The reverse (?) is a lion crouching or standing right. Or a lioness? I am not sure if I am seeing nipples or fur (my lion identification skills are pretty poor). Also, I am not sure whether or not somebody is riding the lion? It is 16 mm and weighs 3.85 grams. It is slightly concave, like so many issues from Macedon. Any help much appreciated as always. [ATTACH=full]1021207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
