Thank you Parthicus. My (Roman) dates had him ruling for 85 years and if he was aged 30 when he commenced his rule, he was 115 when he was defeated in battle. (I will correct the spelling of Jaunpur. Sorry.)

What? No-one has any ideas? I have seen the horse many times but the man in the hat looks somewhat familiar, too.

Here I have what I believe to be a Tanka of Hussain Shah, (Gandharva), of the Jaunpur Sultanate, but the dates don't match, 863-884A.D. When I 'Google' the 'Jaunpur Sultanate' I see dates of 1394-1479, (although some references give dates to 1505). If the later dates are correct, to what do the earlier dates refer? Can anyone tell me any more about this coin, please? (Even which side of my coin should be considered the 'obverse' would help.)

Mmmmm. OK. Thanks.

Mmmmm. Interesting! "Tons of coins" is a good thing, isn't it? My experiences with Zurqieh have been good. (Fast, accurate description, good communication.) Just goes to show, eh?

Not from Thespiae but a "next door Neighbor" - Thebes. 379-371 BC Hemidrachm Thebes, Obv Boeotian Shield, Rev. Amphora with Kantharos above, B-o I below. 2.5gm AR13mm BMC p.35, 32

I have this small bronze coin that appears to have the head of a (peasant) man wearing a hat, on one side and a (prancing) horse left with a 'P' behind the forelegs on the other. Of course I may well be wide of the mark in my assessment, as my eyes "aint what they used to be". I am guessing the 'Greek' part, too. Any assistance is appreciated The measurements are AE16.6mm., 2.43gm.

You are quite right. I relied on the seller's attribution, but after seeing your comment I checked. Mistaken attribution corrected. Thank you, sir.

Here is my "Man-faced bull" (Difficult to see, but only one I have.) 500 BC IBERIA Emporion, Obol, Campo pl. XVI, 3

Carrying on with the "What the Hell is That" theme, (and if you know, I would love to hear).

Why must we keep on treating women differently? (Coinwise) I am an equal opportunist, and on this forum I have 'met' some truly impressive women (Tif, Pish, Erin, Donna etc.) and probably many others, (who I am not aware are women because of usernames). Each time I hear questions about 'numbers of women', and, of organizations like 'WIN" it sounds very patronizing to me. By it's nature, it almost suggests that women are not 'up to it', (which I do not agree with), and some assistance is required. Your thoughts are valuable to me, irrespective of your sex, when talking about coins. (Just my opinion. I hope that I have not offended anyone.)

@JeandAcre Could be. Could be.

Here is one of Apollodotos II: 80-65 BC Apollodotos II - Indo-Greek-Conquests of Alexander the Great - Ref. Mitch 2051 and, 80-65 BC Apollodotos II - Indo-Greek-Conquests of Alexander the Great - Ref. SNG Ans 1548-53

My most 'Hockey Related' coin would be this one. (It resembles the 'Puck'.(Lol)

Sorry, can't help. Can't tell from those photos. (Might help if you didn't get so close with the camera, and then 'cropped' the photos after taking them. Just a suggestion.) Here is my 'Shield/Helmet' from Macedon (albeit Philip III rather than Alexander III) 323-317 B.C. MACEDON Philip III Price 3158

I like the clarity of your photos, but they are a little 'dark' for me, so I took photos (of your photos) and clicked on "Auto Adjust Colours", and this was the result. Not being critical, just trying to be helpful. (More pleasing to me if I was doing it with my coins.)

I used to sell bets for the (legal) 'bookies' for a wage of $$ an hour. At the end of the day I went home with significantly more in my pocket than most of the 'punters' did, and I repeated that week after week. As far as crypto coinage (Bitcoin etc.) goes, by not buying into it I feel that I am in the same position. (Time will tell.)

@ambr0zie @Theodosius Thanks fellas. I like where you are going. Gives me something to work with. 👍
