Hi everyone, I just picked up this coin at an auction, and I was trying to attribute it, but after about an hour looking online and wildwinds, I couldn't find an exact match. On the reverse, the Legend is EYKPATHE and PO, with what looks like a gate on the left field. It weighs 2.71 grams. Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Beautiful coin, @Obone ! I like the lily-like flower on the reverse. I have a coin with a similar flower.
I don't have the references on these so can only try to farm ID's from sales listings. That is never really safe (could use help here). Does anyone know how many different magistrates there are on these Rhodian silvers? Finding another EYKPATHΣ online was fortunate. I can not explain the weights in all cases since there were changes in standards over the centuries these roses bloomed. hemidrachm c.394 BC??? city name only 1.6g but porous didrachm 6.6g 394-304 BC ??? no magistrate hemidrachm 1.3g ΔEΞAΓOPAΣ?
