Greek coin, Zeus Head?

4 сообщений • просмотрено 66 раз

Hi colleagues,

I need your help. I have a coin that resembles an ancient Greek one, but I can’t identify it. I couldn’t find anything like it in any catalog. The coin’s parameters are as follows: diameter 18 mm, thickness 3 mm, and weight 4.74 grams. Bronze.


I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.


Thank you in advance!
 


 

 

Rotating 180 degrees, the text on the bottom reads ΟΛΒ, which points towards Olbia, and towards a similar design on this:

I can't say much more as I know little about the pre-Roman period but maybe it is a helpful lead.

Thank you. I found it!!!


 

I’ve checked the Numista catalog, and this coin doesn’t appear to be listed. All the similar coins I found there are larger, with diameters of 21-24mm and weights of 8-12g. 


 

Would it be appropriate for me to create a new page for this coin? I’ve never done that before, so I’d appreciate any guidance.

 

Thanks in advance!
