<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3739613, member: 96898&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting coin – I, too, wonder what it was inspired by. Maybe a Tenedos tetradrachm like <a href="https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Greek_Silver_Tetradrachm_of_Tenedos_(Mysia,_Islands_off_Troas),_a_Wonderful_Janiform_Head_of_Zeus_and_Hera.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Greek_Silver_Tetradrachm_of_Tenedos_(Mysia,_Islands_off_Troas),_a_Wonderful_Janiform_Head_of_Zeus_and_Hera.jpg" rel="nofollow">this one</a>? Geographically that might make sense.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">The only janiform coins I have are the well-known Lampsakos diobol and some Roman Republican ones:</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">[ATTACH=full]1002965[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font size="3">Lampsakos, Mysia, diobol, ca. 400–300 BC.
