[QUOTE="Spaniard, post: 4787633, member: 90248"]That's is a great looking coin!....I've had a dig around for the last 1/4 hour and can't find anything similar!....You mention a tree or plant but I've been unable to find a reference coin?...Do you have one?..... The closest for me without having a visual reference of the tree would be a bad depiction of the altar but it really doesn't seem to fit!...I'll keep looking and see what I can find,,,, Here's a Mithradatkart mint coin.... Vardanes I (40-47 AD) AE Chalkous 11mm/1.8gr.. Obverse- Bust left with short beard, wearing diadem and spiral torque; hair in three distinct waves with earring visible; diadem pendants shown as three lines; circular border of pellets. Reverse- Monogram ΜΤΘ; legend as dashes Mint- Mithradatkart-Near modern Askabad in Turkmenistan. Ref- Sellwood 64 type variant (ΜΤΘ monogram) This is quite a rare type [ATTACH=full]1163843[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
