Hello ladies and gentlemen, Trying to attribute some coins Santa Claus will bring me (using my own wallet). It was attributed by the auction house as Caria. Mylasa circa 210-30 BC. Bronze 11 mm., 1,68 g. Problem is on Wildwinds I cannot find any match, the coins from this city with horse and trident have a full horse, not just half of it (protome, I learned a new term today). The style is somehow similar to this coin from Mylasa https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/caria/mylasa/BMC_11.jpg But clearly different. Any ideas, please?
Many thanks! I also used acsearch but my search terms were front part, protome.... I am not a native English speaker, but doesn't "forepart" (as described on acsearch) mean "back part"? :| Edit - apparently I was wrong, 2nd term learned today.
That is a great example! I purchased this at one of the first coin shows that FFIVN and I attended. The corrosion is such a shame. Same location but just a little older: Mylasa, Caria AE15 ca 314 BC Obverse: Horse trotting right Reverse: MYΛAΣEΩN, ornamented trident
