    Due to me buying this unidentified coin for the primary reason of it looking a LOT like a T- ball on the T and a baseball bat reverse,



    which my boys and I have been playing a lot of lately, I will not be unsettled if I never get an identification on it.
    But if anyone can solve the mystery or has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

    Described simply as:
    Cilicia Ae Undefined Coin ,
    Condition: Very Fine
    Weight: 2.70 gr
    Diameter: 15 mm

    I thought the obverse actually looked a bit l like a herm. And the CLUB rev is pretty saweet. Plus, it's got writing on it that I cannot make out. Greekish :facepalm:writing. But I've had no luck on AC search nor Google.
    Ideas on mine, coins you bought for r:artist:idiculous reasons, coins of Cilicia and really anything fun is welcome and encouraged:woot:

    I think I can make out 'OLBA' on your coin if I flip my screen upside down.

    Wonderful work, sir!
    I LOVE harpas.
    And good golly, it's made as late as the year of the four emperors... the things practically modern!
    Ps, I hope the papa life is treating you well. :cigar:
