Message:: [QUOTE="TIF, post: 2604303, member: 56859"]Sorry for the delayed reply, Paul.  The silver coin with facing bull head obverse is a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/focus-on-phokis.285339/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/focus-on-phokis.285339/">triobol from Phokis</a>.  I like the design and picked this one up a couple of months ago. The bezel-set Macedonian drachm was one of my best bargains of the year:  $90!!  It's a great coin, probably worth double that, and it's set in 14k gold.  I wear it almost every day.  It came from a dealer at the CICF show.... Here are brief attributions and links for all the coins shown in the first post.  By row; left to right, top to bottom.
