Topcat7 Posted June 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I have this small Greek coin that, despite my best efforts, I am unable to attribute in any way. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. It weighs 3.45gm., and is AE14.7mm. Thank you.

Kamnaskires Posted June 22, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 I realize the obverse is rather male-ish looking, but might be worth looking at issues from Laodiceia ad Lycum with Aphrodite on both obverse and reverse. Might be a rose at reverse lower left. Or not... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in any event, here's one posted by Paul (Spaniard) at CT, along with a side-by-side of the concerning "rose" from his and yours. Not sure if yours is a rose, a letter, or some other motif. Here's what appears to be another similar rendition of the motif, from N&N London: Edited June 22, 2023 by Kamnaskires 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
