[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7881763, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen, Just bought this one I liked the contrast, the overall appearance, you know the story. [ATTACH=full]1359216[/ATTACH] 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.[/QUOTE]
