<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WuntBeDruv, post: 24657998, member: 115520&quot;]I recently acquired this rather chunky unidentified AE17 from eBay for not particularly much, as the reverse fits well into the &#039;heroes, villains, monsters and myths&#039; theme of my ancients collection. I believe it to be an issue of Lampsacus. Apologies for the poor phone-camera pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse depicts a female head right with the legend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%94" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%94" rel="nofollow">Δ<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%91" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%91" rel="nofollow">Α</a>M</a> (?) in front, while on the reverse a <i>protome </i>of a winged horse faces right within a wreath with no accompanying legend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a number of issues of Lampsacus on Wildwinds and elsewhere online which depict variously female heads right, the winged horse protome and wreaths - but none which place the horse inside the wreath! </p><p><br /></p><p>As such, I&#039;d be grateful if any members could direct me to a pertinent reference for this coin (and/or point out my oversight of identical coins in plain view!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
