<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3067119, member: 56859&quot;]Welcome to CoinTalk <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm.&nbsp; There aren&#039;t a ton of cities/states with similar iconography and you&#039;ve probably searched the usual public places (ACsearch, Wildwinds).</p><p><br /></p><p>I found no matches but the <i>general style and size</i> look similar to other tiny bronzes of Palmyra, and the crossed cornucopiae with caduceus is a known device.&nbsp; Check out the <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/syria/palmyra/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/syria/palmyra/t.html" rel="nofollow">Wildwinds page for Palmyra</a> to see what I mean about the style (small size, dotted borders, dumpy flans, patina)</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a long shot and a lot of work but it might be worthwhile to search all of the references cited on that Wildwinds page since there are likely many coins not in any of the usual places but listed in those references.&nbsp; De Saulcy&#039;s <i>Numismatique de la Terre Sainte : description des monnaies autonomes et impériales de la Palestine et de l&#039;Arabie Pétrée.</i> Paris. 1874, is in the public domain and readable online.&nbsp; I quickly browsed it and found no exact matches under Palmyra (challenging because it is in French) but he refers to Mionnet, so that&#039;s another public domain rabbit hole to check.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
