<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24658049, member: 26430&quot;]That is an interesting little Chalkous (or Dichalkon, etc.)! It could be something obvious that didn&#039;t occur to either of us, but I also wouldn&#039;t be surprised if an issue like this had gone unnoticed/unpublished in standard references.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see at least two directions for investigation:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) It does look like Mysia, Lampsakos, though I can&#039;t make out the ethnic, and I don&#039;t see any types that use a wreath border around Pegasos. Sometimes you see a dot border, as on the Provincial issues , or the later Greek ones like this: <a href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=10434" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=10434" rel="nofollow">https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=10434</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1571443[/ATTACH]</p><p>(another specimen on ACSearch: <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7456842" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7456842" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7456842</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also later Greek/post-Hellenistic issues (dated 190-85 BCE) with the Pegasos on obverse and caduceus/kerykeion in wreath on reverse. Stylistically it&#039;s not far off from those:</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=3269" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=3269" rel="nofollow">https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=3269</a> OR <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4396442" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4396442" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4396442</a> .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1571444[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Or those with Dionysis Obverse, wreathed rev (no Pegasos): <a href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=7530" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=7530" rel="nofollow">https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=104&amp;pid=7530</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(2) Alternatively, the city of Alabanda in Caria often used Pegasos as its civic badge. (Other cities did as well.) Then the obverse would be Artemis or Apollo.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following isn&#039;t the same type as yours, but has the major design elements (female head / Pegasos in wreath). I can&#039;t read your inscription, but it if shares some of the characters of the Alabandan AEs, maybe it&#039;s from this series but struck a generation earlier or later:</p><p>HNO Type 1502: <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1502" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1502" rel="nofollow">http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1502</a> (For style, cf. also <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1501" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1501" rel="nofollow">HNO 1501</a> [eagle in wreath].)</p><p><br /></p><p>Better rev. inscription on this example:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5117433" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5117433" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5117433</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1571441[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
