[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 8166685, member: 75937"]I'm out of my bailiwick here with this Greek bronze. It falls under the broad category of "similar to BMC 69-78" and "similar to Sear 3642," but it doesn't have a monogram in the left field and the monogram in the right field bears no resemblance at all to those in BMC. It looks like a rocket on a launch pad; something like this: [U]ᛦ[/U]. The question I have is whether anyone knows which particular magistrate might have issued this coin and when? Is there a more specific reference/attribution? Thanks in advance! [ATTACH=full]1426026[/ATTACH] Pontus, Amisos, c. 85-65 BC? Greek Æ 19.6 mm, 8.39 g, 12 h. Obv: Aegis, with Gorgon's head at center. Rev: Nike advancing right, carrying palm branch with filet, ΑΜΙ-ΣΟΥ across field, Monogram [U]ᛦ[/U] to right. Refs: cf. Sear 3642; cf. BMC 13.19-20,62-78.[/QUOTE]
