[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 5296779, member: 85693"]Yeah, I'd agree that's more beelike. I hope you don't mind if I pile on to your "unknown Alexander" thread here. A while back I posted one that stumped me and it still stumps me. Nobody was able to help out then, but sometimes a redo can be fruitful. Original post: [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/philip-iii-arrhidaios-drachm-need-some-help-with-symbols.326964/[/URL] I know it is Philip because it says Philip on it, but beyond that I'm stumped. [ATTACH=full]1222912[/ATTACH] Here's my incomplete attribution/guess: [B]Macedonia[/B] [B]Kingdom Drachm Philip III Arrhidaios (c. 323-319 B.C.) Thrace-Kolophon mint ?[/B] Head of Herakles right, wearing lion-skin / FILIPPOU, Zeus seated left, right leg drawn back, holding eagle & scepter, F left, club (?) rt., knife (?) under throne. Unattributed (3.99 grams / 17 mm) Here's my attribution scratch sheet for the symbols on this one: [B]Reverse Symbols:[/B] [B]Horse leg under throne slanted right: [/B]Pella: Abydus Mint Price 26 (Alexander) [B]Horse leg in right field behind legend:[/B] Auct & Pella: Abydos Mint Price 25 [B]Club in right field behind legend: [/B] Auct: Sardes Mint Price 2550 (Alexander) [B]Theta in left field:[/B] Pella: Kolophon mint Price 1816-1819 (Alexander).[/QUOTE]
