<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3018466, member: 57495"]The OP type is HGC 7, 241 in Oliver Hoover's <i>Handbook of Coins of Northern and Central Anatolia</i>. Their number covers all monograms and varieties with and without the star and crescent in the upper left field (not present on yours). I'm not sure if the monograms and the control marks change the dating, but HGC goes with the following for the type: "c. 111-105 BC or c. 95-90 BC (?)". That's good enough for me. I have one from another Pontic mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]749933[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>PONTOS, Chabakta</b></p><p>AE21. 8.4g, 21.2mm. PONTOS, Chabakta.
