Topcat7 Posted January 16 · Member Share Posted January 16 I have this AE21.5, 8.9gm. coin that I have noted as CYCLADES, Karthaia on Keos, but when I research this coin I can't find it. Is someone able to assist me please? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor kirispupis Posted January 16 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted January 16 Definitely not Keos. The lettering in the wreath is ΛYΣIMA-XEΩN, so it's from Lysimacheia. It's the same type as this one. Here's my example (different type obviously) from the same city. Thrace, Lysimachia 309-220 BCE AE 18mm 6.00g Head of Tyche right ΛYΣIMAXEΩN, lion sitting right cf SNG Cop 909 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
