Topcat7 Posted June 5, 2022 · Member Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 5, 2022 by Topcat7 2 Quote
