<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3230901, member: 43872"]The obverse is definitely not that on any that Wildwinds shows. There is no helmet. Although it does not show wll in the picture in my original post, the back of the head clearly shows a bare, curly hairline almost to the top of the head. If there ever was a cord or laurel in the hair, it has worn off, but there is no crown or helmet. I have begun to think it may be a head of Mark Anthony, who, as Triumvir, ruled Macedonia from 40 to 31 BC. This is well within the last years for which Wildwinds attributes this reverse. Is this possible? Compare the picture of my coin's obverse with several of the images for Mark Anthony on <a href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/imp/marc_antony/i.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/imp/marc_antony/i.html" rel="nofollow">http://wildwinds.com/coins/imp/marc_antony/i.html</a>[ATTACH=full]843670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
