Felipe Biagi Posted January 26 · Member Share Posted January 26 Please, can someone help me identify this coin? I have it for 2 years but never found something similar, it was from a coin lot. It is 11,2mm in diameter and weight 0,6g. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted January 26 · Supporter Share Posted January 26 This is a long-shot but the face reminds me quite a lot of some of the mugshots of the nymph Kyrene and there’s more than a hint of a silphium plant to the reverse. I haven’t seen them in combination, though it’s a little outside “my area”. Wildwinds (use thumbnail option) might help- https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/kyrenaica/t.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor kirispupis Posted January 26 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted January 26 Kind of looks like Rhodes to me, though I'm not aware if they issued coinage that small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted January 26 · Member Share Posted January 26 I would agree with @Deinomenid- but I think the obverse character is Athena, like on BMC 202 from the wildwinds page - but with a different reverse (and slightly larger, that one). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few small coins with Athena and rose. attributed to Rhodes by the sellers, but without reference:https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6785466https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5166290 or this from Soloi-Pompeiopolishttps://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4895314 but non of them is a perfect match, so I'm not convinced Edited January 27 by shanxi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe Biagi Posted January 28 · Member Author Share Posted January 28 Hey guys, I send this same coin in some other forums. And I think someone got it right! This is the link that he sent me:https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8474711 What you think?

shanxi Posted January 29 · Supporter Share Posted January 29 It's missing the big round thickening, and the top doesn't look like a caduceus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
