    I'd like some help to ID this coin. I got it in a batch of uncleaned. It is 28mm. I haven't done much to it yet. I need to have a better idea before I start. Thanks. Unknown.jpg

    or they are busy looking up coins.


    It's from Cyrrhus, Syria and the reverse is a hexastyle temple with Zeus seated left within, holding sceptre and thunderbolt, eagle at foot left, bull or ram leaping left above the roof.

    I can't make out the obverse but below are examples from Philip I and II

    Above I posted this coin before cleaning and now I am posting it after some cleaning. Small progress has been made. I think I will continue working on this one.
