Had to take a break from Medieval coins

Since it really tough for me to attribute Medieval coins, I took a break and went downtown to HJB to buy nice coins.

Going to HJB definitely made my day. This is one of the coins:

AE 21
Macedonia, Amphipolis, 27 BC – 14 AD
21 mm, 9.44 g;
RPC 1626; BMC (Catalogue of the Greek Coins, Macedonia, p. 52) 73; SNG Copenhagen 89; SNG ANS 164-65; Lindgren 963; Sear Greek Imperial 29.

Ob.: ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ Bare head of Augustus to r.
Rev.: ΑΜΦΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ (of the Amphipolitans) Artemis Tauropolos with billowing veil, riding on bull wearing basileion of Isis between its horns and galloping to r.

Ex Collection Prof. David MacDonald
Don't know who Prof. David MacDonald is, does someone know?

Very cool! I haven't been to HJB since about 2000, but I remember the fun.



Class A2 Anonymous Follis - S 1813 - DOC A2.14, (34mm, 19.04g) F plus natural patina

This made my day. A not terrible, 34mm., heavy example for under $30.

 

A really nice heavy example, the obverse is nice and the lettering is readable
