Hello ladies and gentlemen, Just bought this one I liked the contrast, the overall appearance, you know the story. Described just as: Lydia. Blaundos circa 200-0 BC. Bronze Æ 12 mm, 2,04 g I like (and I think all of us like) to identify my coins as exactly as possible. I checked on acsearch and coinarchives and could not find a match. Checked the legend on the reverse and compared to other Wildwinds coin and it is pretty clear the legend is MΛAYNΔ ΘEOTIMIΔO - magistrate Theotimidos. But I would like to identify it properly. I would say that the reverse object is a club. Also the obverse figure looks like Herakles to me - but this is an association with the club on the reverse - if it is indeed a club. However I cannot find something similar. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dane Kurth from Wildwinds thankfully hosts the offline-data from Isegrim as excel files https://www.wildwinds.com/Isegrim/ Your coin is line 5853 or 5854 in the AE BC section published IMHOOF LS S50,4(1) / COLL IMHOOF(1) and BMC 16 S42,5(1) Your identification as Hercles and club is correct
