O-Towner Posted August 18, 2023 · Member Share Posted August 18, 2023 This one should actually be easy but I can't find even a close match. Obv: Head of Apollo? Rev: Bearded figure walking (or standing) right holding long spear and torch (I think) Size: 15mm, 2.8gms No obvious legends on either side. Thanks for taking a look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's a Chalkon from Thessaly. A lot of Greek bronzes have a similar weight and diameter. It's a cool piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted August 18, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2023 Along the same lines, that might be the nymph Trikka, and there are some coins with the reverse showing a warrior advancing right, albeit in a different pose.

O-Towner Posted August 18, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Thanks shanxi! That's it. Wow. And interesting in that the design doesn't incorporate a city name. Edited August 18, 2023 by O-Towner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor kirispupis Posted August 19, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 19, 2023 Interesting coin. It appears to have been minted while Corinth was under Antigonos II Gonatas. It resembles his coinage. I just ordered it from your store. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
