Hi colleagues,


 

First of all, thank you for your previous help! I truly appreciate it.


 

I’ve come across three more coins that I haven’t been able to identify. They are similar to others I’ve found, but these lack any inscriptions. Here are the details of the coins:

Coin 1: Tyche + palm

• Weight: 3.38g

• Diameter: 15mm

• Thickness: 3mm

Coin 2: Tyche + galley

• Weight: 4.19g

• Diameter: 16mm

• Thickness: 3mm

Coin 3: Head facing right + crescent and star

• Weight: 4.04g

• Diameter: 18mm

• Thickness: 3mm


Any insights you can provide about these coins would be greatly appreciated!

 

Hi,

 

Just an advice, split the photos into lines of 2, maybe with their description between them, it will make easier to catch which one is which. Currently they are simply loaded together in a single line.

 

Back to the coins, the first two are phoenicians.

Bought one of these recently so I still remember where I did my research, so it was easy to find.

But, these two are not on our catalog. Well, there is one page with Tyche and ship, but not for a ship pointing right.

 

For #1, there are types with Tyche and palm tree from Arados and Tyre, I'm not 100% sure which one is yours.

 

For #2, it's definitely Arados:

Don't ask me which one, I can figure only the last letter, ayin (behind the prow).

 

For #3, still clueless.

There are similar coins with star and crescent from Carrhae, Mesopotamia. But I can't say that it's the case here.
