<p>[QUOTE=&quot;R*L, post: 3154427, member: 96878&quot;]Tricky one!</p><p><br /></p><p>My two cents (which may not be worth two cents) - the bull standing or walking left on the back looks like a zebu, which is quite common on Kushan and Indo-Greek coins but in my opinion, this isn&#039;t a stylistic match for either culture.&nbsp; There are a few western Greek issues with a zebu or humped bull but the only one I&#039;m aware of with the bull standing left that pairs it with a similar obverse to yours (probably Apollo) is a Selucide issue attributed to Antioch - see <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=552977" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=552977" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=552977 </a> <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3297594" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3297594" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3297594</a> <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2148027" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2148027" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2148027</a> although it doesn&#039;t look like a match to yours - (but that could possibly be accounted for by wear/corrosion?)</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some issues from other cities with a humped bull jumping/running or butting left, but I&#039;m pretty sure your bull is more sedate so I think they can be ruled out. There is also a Lydian coin with it walking left but the obverse is a bearded Zeus so again it can probably be ruled out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know what the size/weight is?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
