Help with ancient Greece.

5 berichten • 128 keer bekeken
Hi girls hello boys.

I have a really old coin here and I don't want to throw it in the dustbin of history, and I've probably seen her somewhere in history
( Déjà vu-- numismatics after years) -maybe Rome's provincial coins?
Can someone please direct me where to look ? I assume it's Greece -so 300 to 100 BC -the bust of the ruler is seen and on the reverse is a bird with an inscription ( Y -letter I think I see)
Bronze metal ,
the weight is: 6,51 g, size: 20,68 mm , and he's pretty fat: 3,25 mm


Thank you for your opinion of colleagues and stay healthy in this viral era.

Try looking at upcoming auctions (Biddr is a good site to try). One of the best sites for indentification is Wildwinds (https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/), though you will have to be patient working through each city/city state. The fact that your coin is very worn doesn't help. If it was Roman provincial there would probably be many more Greek letters on it. Roman provincial would also be from Augustus to the 3rd c AD.

​Hi and thank you for your support ,, 7Bundies,, - yes I'm looking there too.
I just put it here as a possibility that someone had it in their hands or before their eyes lately and remembers, and I have already ruled out that Roman province.
Thanks man for the support I'll be looking for I won't give up.

You are very welcome Ivan. Wildwinds is always my go to site. I bought a small lot recently that included 10 small ancient Greek coins, some with not much info on them. Over the past month I have spent many hours trolling through the site city by city, laborious I know but enjoyable and partially successful, as I have identified five of the ten. Of those remaining, three are examples of the same coin, so actually only three to go. Wildwinds is great for Greek, Roman, Byzantine and English hammered.

Hi, colleagues.
I took another lighting, digi microscope (I have to buy a new one). I confused the letter I looked the opposite not ,, Y ,, It's ,, A ,,

about: ,,??FEAI,,
,,???EAI,,
other lighting, side view, and it also seems to me that it can be a women's bust:



above the bird is ,, Z ,,

Maybe someone has seen it before, I was sorry to drop her.
Thanks for the leniency , pandemic perhaps the most affected region -finally in something first.
Ivan
