    Hey gang!

    I'm having trouble with this one. Usually If I can see some inscription I can figure them out... I'm getting to the point where I recognize a few busts and can figure them out that way. This one however I'm having trouble with. Sorry about the pics... my camera died yesterday and I had to use my IPhone.

    HELP! & thanks!

    Size? Weight? Any guess as to material (Copper / Bronze?)

    Try Arados Tyche. That should get you a good start.

    Ahhh yes sorry. It's 9.9 grams. It's approximately 19mm. Hard to say on the material tho.

    Ardatirion Où est mon poisson

    CILICIA, Tarsos. Anonymous issue. 164-27 BC. Turreted and draped head of Tyche right / Sandan standing right on horned, winged animal, within a pyramidal monument surmounted by an eagle; monograms to left. Cf. SNG France 1307.

    The material is bronze, abbreviated as AE. Denomination unknown.

    The monograms aren't clear on your specimen, so a precise match to a catalog entry is impossible.
