Hello everyone: Normally visitor his post, marveling and learning with them, fantastic!!, really thank you... I got this little coin, Syracuse Bronze (AE 18), Apollo, Pegasus... Timoleon or Agathokles? 349....289 BC I'not sure... Weight: I have no balance yet... Sorry... ... with hole and all ... and then try to identify it, I came to a post of John Anthony, that encourages me to post it here. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/first-coin-of-2015-sicily.257496/ I have one question, I do not know if it will be possible to solve due to the state of my money, but you have more knowledge. Is Timoleon, or Agathokles?. Hiron II not because their designs are Persephone not Apollo. I read that this design is common to Timoleon and the time of the 3rd Democracy, and that of the Agathokles found the "pileus" behind the bust of Apollo. The problem is that where it should be the pileus, there is a hole ... ...I think the edge of this is, but I'm not sure. Can you infer anything about this? From already thank you very much, should clear my doubts and magnificent posts ... and sorry for my poor use of language. Greetings from Argentina to all.
Nice, that's a very cool little coin, danielus ...

Guaaauuu !!! That beautiful designs!!! Hiketas II, The Biga... In the last century, those of Vittorio Emanuelle III I guess would be inspired in some of these designs ... ¿¿??
