[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5273193, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen, Before I found this forum I wasn't interested in Greek coins (only RIC and Roman provincial) but I noticed some very artistic examples posted by collectors here so I decided to study this area and, of course, add some Greek coins into my collection, the ones that I found to be beautiful/representative (and not very expensive) What caught my attention was, definitely, the ones from Kyzikos with the lion and the boar so I managed to get one (not the best conservation but I am still happy) [ATTACH=full]1220552[/ATTACH] I want to attribute it correctly, this was listed as a hemiobol (9 mm, 0.40 g) but I noticed there are several subtypes. That little symbol on the side with the lion - what is that? Checked on Wildwinds [URL]https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/mysia/kyzikos/i.html[/URL] and I suspect it is the one listed as Rosen 522 as it looks, to me, like a panther head. If there are other members that know about these coins (and I know there are) I would like a second (or third, fourth... :) ) opinion, please.[/QUOTE]
