expat Posted November 29, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2023 I asked Dane at Wildwinds for some help with this coin. She is extremely knowledgeble and very helpful. There are a number of this style of coin but there were no item or description on the site with these particular monograms. After attributing it she asked if it could be added to the page. This is probably nothing special to most of you, but to me, having my coin there, gives me a feeling of satisfaction that others who may have another example of it, now have an attribution to go with it. Feel free to post any coins of yours that were previously missing from a respected site or publication. https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/mysia/pergamon/t.html PERGAMON (Mysia) AE16. Obverse: Head of Athena right, wearing helmet decorated with 8 pointed star. Reverse: AΘHNAΣ / NIKHΦOPOY. Owl standing facing on palm frond right, with wings spread. Monograms ΓΑ and ΑΡ either sides of owl in fields. SNG Leipzig 1102-1103. Pergamon mint, ca. 200-133 BC. 2,9 g - 16 mm. 15 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocatarinetabellatchitchix Posted November 29, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 29, 2023 I found that the Antoninus Pius was the « plate coin » on wildwinds after I bought it, the Honorius was submitted by myself after I discovered it was rated R5. 12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Anthos Posted November 29, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 29, 2023 I have a number of Tarentine rarities that are not listed on Wildwinds. I have twice invited Dane to raid my gallery for anything she needs, as well as numerous corrections, but have never gotten a response. Oh well. ~ Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted November 30, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2023 This is my only wildwinds "plate" coin - it's also the fourth example cited (and illustrated) on RPC online - and for good measure, it is also the "plate" coin for Numista.com: 😜 CLAUDIUS, AD 41-54 AE Dichalkon (14.78mm, 1.50g, 12h) Struck AD 45/6. Egypt, Alexandria mint Obverse: ΤΙΒ ΚΛΑV, laureate head of Claudius right Reverse: L-Ϛ, eagle standing right References: RPC I 5171.4 (this coin) Numista 375930 (this coin). This coin is also the illustrated specimen on Wildwinds.com Comments: Very rare. Smooth dark surfaces. Excellent condition for the type. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
