Reminds me to my Alopeconnesos (Thracia) bronze: head of Dionysos right, wreathed with ivy / A - Λ - Ω , kantharos, bunch of grapes to lower left

Give us some letters!

Hi Arminius!

I have attached two other photos, after cleaning it a little. There is something on the right of the kantharos; unfortunately i see no letters :(.
Anyway I will search Thracia and if anything there i will give feedback.

Regards,

Hi again,

I think this is the one, but again weight and diam differs.

If possible, please let me know if you agree that is the same city. The Greek "L" is above the kantharus and the same sign at the right of it.

Hi Pekka! Manny, many thanks for your help with many of my items.
I this this is the one.

If I am not too daring, could you please take a look to one of my posting from a few days ago? (Greek - owl https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=105594.0). I have not found any match for this one. Any hint where to find it, will be helpful.

Thanks and regards,
