[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3156881, member: 96635"]When I search on the Phi monogram (visible at bottom of the coin) I get this coin: [IMG]http://www.edgarlowen.com/antiochos-11278.jpg[/IMG] But this is an extremely rare Antiochos, son of Seleukos IV, 175-170 BC drachm, I doubt this is my coin. Suggestions are greatly appreciated! EDIT: Or maybe it could be a drachm of Seleukos IV itself? [IMG]http://www.wesleyan.edu/archprog/collections/collection-highlights/images/dahl_coins/dahl_15.jpg[/IMG] Only it looks like that on my coin the last 3 letters are "XOY" and not "KOY". Atleast the obverse looks almost identical: [IMG]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/c8ca/9kmlb1wvslnh7rpzg.jpg[/IMG] EDIT2: Or maybe an Antiochos III drachm? [url]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=270063[/url] [IMG]https://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/30/452/270063.m.jpg[/IMG] I am actually so clueless at the moment, the coins look almost identical to eachother.[/QUOTE]
