[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2237389, member: 57495"]Weight and diameter are often helpful, especially with the more worn/corroded coins that bear fairly generic designs. I think it may be Prusias II of Bithynia, with the head of the ruler on the obverse, and Herakles on the reverse. [URL='http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2199211']This coin [/URL]is not mine : [ATTACH=full]440782[/ATTACH] See if you can discern the legend on the left of the figure on your coin, and see if it matches up with "ΠΡΟYΣΙΟΥ" as that spells out this ruler's pretty distinctive name.[/QUOTE]
