Title: Ephesos (?) bronze coin
Post by: Marsha on October 20, 2019, 02:40:51 pm

Have a bronze coin that I cannot identify.   About 16mm and 3 grams

Appears to be a coin of Ephesos (?) with Artemis holding a stag by the antlers on the reverse...  But cannot match the obverse.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Marsha

This coin is from Stratonikeia in Caria:
