[QUOTE="Andrzej, post: 4047197, member: 110413"]Ryro, Arnoldoe, I could not find a match that would have such inscriptions where the Nike is. I do not think that this coin is ancient cross cultural mule. I am inclined to Roman Provincial coin from Macedonia. Is it exactly from Koinon - that can of course be questionable. However, as a collector of Pantikapaion and Kingdom of Bosporus coins, I came across many types that have never been previously described in any known to me catalog (even Russian catalogs - that are more extensive than English catalogs from this region). If you visit my site ([URL]http://www.kwinto-coins.com/[/URL]) you will find many new types discovered in the last 5-10 years from this area. I even have examples (unearthed and sent from Crimea and neighboring areas) that do not have any known to me duplicates (at least for the present time) So, returning to this coin - perhaps this is a new type of Roman Provincial coin from Macedonia that have recently surfaced, have not been published and doesn't have duplicate yet.
