Or Thessaly Magnetes ???

Macedon - Demetrios Poliorketes??

The Measurements of this coin are: 3.39gm., AE17.4mm.

I am happy that on the reverse I can see a prow (of a galley) right.

On the obverse I have been trying to make out the head of Zeus, or Herakles, with no luck.

I have taken photos on four different axis.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, please?

Gotta be Macedon, right? Male head, possibly Apollo. Rider-less horse reverse with possible remnants of a legend. Maybe Alexander II or III?

 

@Kassmnaskires. Thank you Bob. I should have picked that.  MACEDON Alexander II SNG ANS 110 var.

The Measurements of this coin are: 3.71gm., AE16.2mm.

I think that I can see on the obverse a head of ? (nymph?) right, wearing taenia, and,

on the reverse horse prancing right.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, please?

A shot in the dark here but resembles Commodus?

I had forgotten Commodus, but you are right.

Thank you.

About 7-10% gold

I recently bought this as well. My only greek coin

Similar to my Tunny Fish

(1) 600-550 B.C. MYSIA Kyzikos Hunter & Leiwald 2.2; 

I have a coin from the period of Archelous.

410-357 B.C. MACEDON Amphipolis SNG ANS 92var. Race Torch

Notwithstanding this head looking much like a cross between Antoninus Pius and Septimus Severus, I believe that this coin is Greek.

Obverse: Male head right (with beard)

Reverse: Female figure standing holding spear in right hand while holding left arm outwards.

Measurements : 4.25 m., AE16.2 mm.

I would appreciate any assistance in attributing this coin, thank you.

Looks to be this from Amphipolis:

Macedon, Amphipolis Æ 19mm. Circa 2nd century AD. ΑΜΦΙΠΟ[ΛEΙΤΩΝ], bearded head of Herakles to right, wearing lion skin / Athena Nikephoros standing to left, holding spear. SNG ANS 144; AMNG III/2, 54. 4.22g, 19mm, 1h.

Thank you Ancientone. That indeed does look like my coin.

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you, again.

I recently purchased a bag lot (60) of (mixed) Greek coins. I have managed to attribute all bar a half a dozen of them, and I am in need of help with those.

Most have come from Macedonia and date in the first century B.C.

Here is one of the coins that I am having some difficulty with.

Measurements 5.52 gm., AE 17.7 mm.

I believe that we may have on the obverse a male head (Bearded) facing right, and,

on the reverse we may have a female figure standing facing, head to left with right arm outstretched and left arm resting on a shield, spear behind.

Can anyone help me get further with an attribution, please? Thank you.

@LhevaeYou may well be right. What do others think?

I think that I can see Janiform heads on the obverse of this coin.

I think that I can I see a horse galloping (R) with 'S' 'C' above on the reverse.

If I can, is someone able to help me to identify this coin, please?

If I cannot, then what do you see, please?

Measurements: 3.86 gm., AE16.3 mm.

Like most people here I have  a 'modest' collection of artefacts from Egyptian Ushabtis to children's toys from the Indus civilization. However, staying on topic for the Roman period, amongst my many items I have a 'crucifixion nail'. (Same nail, two views.)

@Magnus MaximusGood to see you here.
