I just wanted to make sure whether this Greek coin represents a Queen or a king. There's an earring ? on the right ear of the monarch . The reverse shows the headdress of Isis. Thanks a lot..
Great lookin' coin, 7Charles ... sadly, I don't know anything about it, but it is very attractive (as always, your friend's coins always have that sweet desert patina)
Neither. It is the god Eros on a coin of Antiochos VII. The tip is the worn region left of the shoulder which would be a wing with more detail. Compare: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=649881
There were several others much worse at a lot more. It is like so many common coins, it depends on who is selling and how gullible is the buyer. The $51 is nice if you want the coin but my want list is long and my finances are short so I'd probably have passed it.
