NewStyleKing Posted November 2, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) @Deinomenid Sent me a link to a NewStyle that he liked https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=7223&lot=107 This NewStyle called 2 serpents is quite nice. 2 Serpents have 2 monograms probably of Phanias and Moschion whose order is reversed on some of the coins. They are thought to be brothers. Maybe T81 more than T 80 Obverses..can someone have a look? How about this? A nice large flanned early NewStyle offered by CNG . Obverse quite clearly T14, the reverse probably new. The interesting thing is that in this the 4th issue of NewStyles, there are 2 types, one without and one with Cornucopia. This may or may not indicate a 2 year issue but my examples of both types have a shared obverse. Mysterious eh! Who thinks NewStyles are boring!

NewStyleKing Posted November 2, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Both coins are T 13 but as you can see have the 2 types of obverse 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted November 2, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2023 I wouldn't quite say I liked this coin as that I was perplexed! I assumed it was a crude fake, with the way it didn't remotely fit the flan, with the nose, and with the "edge" beading going so crazy and not even attempting to join up, but then thought even a drunk modern forger could do better. The 2 serpents part is really interesting though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewStyleKing Posted November 2, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Ha! Now I understand! I did wonder whether it was a contemporary copy because SHE has a bulbous nose! And the beading on the obverse is strange and doesn't meet up! My 2 Serpents! A well worn die on the obverse but a great reverse with a fab owl amphora combo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewStyleKing Posted November 2, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 This might help with the 2 serpents identification. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
