<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2429804, member: 75641&quot;]Hello All,</p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago that I had some rogue Seleucid coins in my collection that I finally decided to investigate.&nbsp; Well, now I know why I had left them alone for as long as I did.&nbsp; I did check the BMC on line as well as Wildwinds and had no luck with either of these.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a jugate portrait with a cornucopia reverse.&nbsp; The combination of the legends being <i>just</i> muddled enough as well as my unfamiliarity with these issues is keeping me from finding the appropriate ruler name and at least a BMC number.&nbsp; This coin measures 15mm and 3.05gr.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a coin that I have tentatively attributed to one of the Alexanders.&nbsp; I know my pictures leave something to be desired, but hopefully you can see that on the reverse of the second coin, it appears to be a tripod design with legends inscribed vertically on either side of the tripod.&nbsp; On the one side it seems pretty clear that the word &quot;BASILEWS&quot; is evident.&nbsp; On the right side of the tripod it appears that the word </p><p>&quot;ALEXANDROU&quot; is evident.&nbsp; But I could find no match for this coin either.&nbsp; The coin measures 19mm and weighs approximately 6gr.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help on these would be very welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]504722[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504736[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504737[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
