[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3012593, member: 56859"]C.J. Howgego's [I]Greek Imperial Countermarks: Studies in the Provincial Coinage of the Roman Empire[/I] is the go-to source for countermarks on provincial coins and your coin is probably provincial. Some of the listings give a size for the c/m, so measuring the c/m on your coin (in millimeters) might help narrow it down. Also, what is the diameter of the host coin? I bought the book a while back, thinking it would be handy, but in truth I have very few countermarked coins. It's fun to help others with their coins though, so I'll give it a try after you take those measurements unless someone else nails it down before then :) Some of the book's entries have abundant detail about the c/m but some merely list the c/m. Hopefully yours will have some interesting information.[/QUOTE]
