[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 3507840, member: 82322"]The key reference for these coins is Martin Price's book. The American Numismatic Society has a database organized by Price number and it is ideal for your question. Go to [url]http://numismatics.org/pella/[/url] and enter rose in the white box in the upper right corner and click the search icon (a magnifying glass). There will be 76 results. Your coin has ΔΙ under the chair. Just flip through the results looking for a coin with ΔΙ. Yours is on the fourth page. [url]http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.3970[/url] [url]http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.3971[/url] At this point I am a bit confused. I had expected your coin to be struck after 323 BC, as Zeus' legs are crossed. I was going to tell you that was the proof. The ANS database says "332 BC - 323 BC". So either the ANS database is wrong, and this is a Ptolemy issue because crossed legs are said to be after Alexander's death. Or you have scored a lifetime issue, issued under Alexander. Anyone with a paper copy of Price to check?[/QUOTE]
