Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7053 Posts	Posted 09/19/2024 12:52 pm Wondering if it might be a Smyrna issue based on what I can see of the obverse legend. Pic below for comparison. The two Smyrna coins have a legend of ΖEΥC ΑΚΡΑΙΟC and a reverse of the Amazon Smyrna. There is another, similar, issue with the same obverse legend and a reverse of Athena standing. (I can't see enough of the reverse figure on your coin, Micha, to tell who it is.) I've enlarged the legend from the top coin to compare it to yours. Link to the two coins, which are a bit lighter than yours: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9776531 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10495791 Edited by Kamnaskires 09/19/2024 12:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
