    I guess this comes under the heading of me not having access to enough
    Reference websites even though I have been through close to 200
    known Apollo/Tripod coin images I just can't seem to match the monogram
    spelling of which in itself I am not even sure of as you can see by the photo.
    I did some enhancing of the Reverse if that helps a bit??

    If someone wishes to give it a try I am always appreciative for the help!

    Thank you so much, wildwinds is the first place I go, did you have a good idea
    of what region to look under? Since you are a will known member I just
    assume you have a good handle on inscription reads....

    You are very welcome although this is one of my preferred things to do with ancients. After four or five uneventful searches I searched the part of legend that was clear, *TPIAN* on acsearch, and third or fourth in results was a similar Apollo obverse from Kaystriani but there were none with a tripod. So I checked Wildwinds.
