[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3272208, member: 96635"]Hi Zumbly, nice coin. I got good news (or well depends if you think the same). It is not a coin from the Epeirote republic, does SNG Cop say that? Franke atleast determined that these coins were produced during the kingdom of Epeiros, also called Epeiros Symmachy sometimes, this includes the reign of Pyrrhos. I think that makes your coin a little more special. With Zeus looking right, the coin is during reign of Pyrrhos (and a little after) in 297-265 B.C. Your example of Zeus looking left is minted after the reign of Pyrrhos but still during the Kingdom of Epeiros, until the establishment of the Epeirote League. Time date of your coin is 270-235 B.C. and reference somewhere in Franke 70-95 (and SNG Cop 105 but the time date is not correct). In other words, I would place as description: Epeiros. Symmachy, 270-235 B.C.[/QUOTE]
