[QUOTE="Bing, post: 1638569, member: 44132"][FONT=arial narrow][SIZE=3]Once again, on a whim, I purchased a coin without complete identification. In fact it was listed as "Unknown Greek or Roman". I have since narrowed it down to an AE 20 from Amisos, Pontos. OBV: Head of Mithradates VI as Dionysos, wearing ivy-wreath REV: [COLOR=#000000]AMISOU[/COLOR] beneath cista mystica; on which rests panther skin and thyrsos; HTPK monogram to left, MFI monograms to right. My problem is I cannot see any monogram. If I look real hard, I can see a shadow of a possible monogram to the left, but nothing to the right. Any help with attribution will be greatly appreciated [/SIZE][/FONT][ATTACH]235433.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]235434.vB[/ATTACH] (These are the seller's images)[/QUOTE]
