[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 4195527, member: 91461"]I think I have the identification. That is, who and what is in the coin and where it's from. I just cannot find another coin of the type searching AC search, Google, Forum nor here in CT (I can't get Wild winds to work on my phone anymore for some reason). There are some very similar coins of the type on AC search, but smaller and with the triskeles on the reverse. Could my coin just be a slightly larger denomination? Oh, and surprise surprise, it’s a shield coin:woot: though not from Macedon. Here’s my coin followed by the coins like it from AC search: [ATTACH=full]1076791[/ATTACH] PISIDIA. Selge Ae (2nd-1st century BC). Obv: Round shield with monogram ΠΘ. Rev: Athena or maybe Artemis (?) Condition: Very fine. Weight: 1.89 g. Diameter: 14 mm. Ex Savoca [ATTACH=full]1076798[/ATTACH] Pisidia. Selge circa 200-0 BC. Bronze Æ 12mm., 2,20g. Round shield with monogram / Triskeles. very fine SNG von Aulock 5298. [ATTACH=full]1076799[/ATTACH] PISIDIA. Selge. Ae (2nd-1st century BC). Obv: Round shield with monogram ΠΘ. Rev: Triskeles. SNG von Aulock 5298. Condition: Very fine. Weight: 1.29 g. Diameter: 11 mm. PISIDIA. Selge. Ae (2nd-1st century BC). Obv: Round shield with monogram ΠΘ. Rev: Triskeles. SNG von Aulock 5298. Condition: Very fine. Weight: 1.29 g. Diameter: 11 mm. [ATTACH=full]1076801[/ATTACH] PISIDIE, SELGE, AE bronze, 2e-1er s. av. J.-C. Droit : [..] au centre d'un bouclier rond. Revers : Triskèle dans un cercle de grènetis. Ref.: SNG von Aulock 5298. 1,36g. Rare. Patine verte. Superbe EF Does anyone have SNG von Aulock, that would be willing to check on my coin type? Any Ideas/guesses at who the monogram is a reference to? Is that Athena on the reverse? Does anyone have this coin type or have seen it before? Your help is appreciated.[/QUOTE]
