<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 4943237, member: 100731&quot;]This coin has been in my collection for a few months, but until now, I had no time to study it. It&#039;s a neat coin, with a nice even green patina and enough details. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188296[/ATTACH]</p><p>GREECE, Anonymous. Denomination: AE unit, minted: Southern Lucania, Herakleia; 300-100 BC</p><p>Obv: Helmeted head of Athena to the right</p><p>Rev: |-HΡAKΛEIΩN, Herakles standing left, lion’s skin on left arm and club on left shoulder</p><p>Weight: 4.32g; Ø:17mm. <b><u>Catalogue: any suggestions are welcome</u></b>. Provenance: acq. 06-2020</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at these photos, I noticed something behind Athena&#039;s head:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188297[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t able to find my coin in ACsearch or Sixbid (search query: lucania hera* athena standing -nomos -stater -didrachm -diobol -drachm). There were about 20-30 bronze coins, all smaller (around 12 mm) and lighter (around 2 gram). None of these had a similar &#039;thing&#039; behind Athena&#039;s head. </p><p><br /></p><p>So: any suggestions? Also, suggestions to pinpoint a catalogue reference is welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
