AE11-12 tapered flan ID
« on: November 23, 2017, 10:29:49 pm »
AE11-12 with a tapered flan. 1.1gm. Maybe Ptolemaic or Alexandrian? Obverse similar to Isis but I could be wrong. Any help appreciated.

I think the photo of the reverse is upside down and the type is a tripod.  Probably Seleucid.

Late Seleucid.  Perhaps Antiochus XII.

Likely Apollo and tripod.

Thank you Shawn! There does not seem to be much info on these small Seleucids.

On the contrary, HGC9 lists these quite well.

Shawn is right your coin looks like HGC9-1334
of Antiochus XII.

Pekka is right.  The two volumes of Part II of Seleucid Coins, which covers Seleucus IV to Antiochus XIII, are over 1370 pages.

Not cheap but if you want to know a lot about this coinage.......
