[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2324502, member: 56859"]I don't know much about specific countermarks and their issuers. Seleucids used (perhaps among other things) an anchor countermark when stampiing non-Seleucid coins. Many have been shown on CoinTalk. Of course, we wouldn't expect an anchor countermark on a [I]Seleucid[/I] coin :) There's a new book which may have the answer but it is not available for digital (free) viewing: [url]http://www.seleukidempire.org/SCpart1.html[/url] It has an appendix of countermarks. While browsing for an answer to your horse head question I came across another coin like yours, with the same countermark: [url]http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=207225[/url][/QUOTE]
