<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3091449, member: 56859"]Hmm, I thought the first one would be relatively easy but I've also struck out. Even Ed's ISEGRIM interface didn't hit anything. Bust of Tyche right / Nike walking (advancing, flying) left is common enough but I can't find that with the "...ΩNK" reverse legend.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin's reverse has a blockiness which calls to mind some crude coins of the Levant but the obverse is at odds with that. Is the reverse a facing Hermes, since there is a caduceus? Who else is associated with a caduceus? Nemesis? Hermanubis (he's often shown with a caduceus and a palm branch and there is a non-palm branch on this coin)? Is that even a person or deity or as Chris postulated, is it a tripod or table or trophy? It's an interesting challenge and I'm going to spend more time on it this morning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
