[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 26220681, member: 87809"]Not sure about the second monogram on the reverse of this coin: Kilikia, Seleukeia ad Kalykadnon, pseudo autonomous coinage, Hellenistic period 2nd – 1st century BC, AE 23 26 g (according to the flip, but I haven't weighted it yet) can't say if the second monogram on the reverse is AΘH / AΘH (or AЄH) in two lines. In the BMC (Lycaonia, Isauria, Cilicia, Seleucia ad Calycadnum, p. 129) 6 there is no entry for AΘH / AЄH, only for AΘH / AΘH, therefore, my guess is that the second one has a damaged letter Θ. Am I right? Other attributions I found: SNG BNF (France II), 898-900; Ziegler [I]Kilikien[/I] 397; SNG Levante 681; SNG Pfalz 1013; SNG Tahberer 1140; Ob.: Head of Athena wearing crested Corinthian helmet to r. ΣA monogram sideways behind head. Border of dots. Rev.: ΣЄΛЄYKЄΩN TΩN ΠPΩΣ TΩI KAΛYKAΔNΩI (from top right, clockwise). Magistrates’ initials or monograms AΘH / AΘH (or AЄH) in two lines in l. field. Nike in long chiton walking to l., holding wreath in outstretched r. hand.
