Dracma Griego sin Identificar
« on: October 13, 2009, 06:00:50 pm »
Hola estimados, les escribo desde Chile con una duda, tengo en mi poder una moneda griega que parece pertenecer a un Antioco, lo complicado de esta moneda es que no esta en ningun catalogo, ya sea Sear, del museo britanico, etc, la pieza presenta un ancla y no tiene el sobrenombre de antioco, por lo cual se descarta al dracma de antioco VIII, al presentar el anlca podria ser probable que sea posterior a Antioco III, la pieza es de Plata, mide 15 mm de diametro y pesa 4.85 gramos.

Buenos días

Si fuese de bronce, te diría sin ninguna duda que era de Antioco II , pero en plata.......

For Antiochus IV I find in B. V. Head Historia Numorum p. 762, near bottom of the page, a diobol with the head of Antiochus and, reverse, a tripod lebes.   A diobol might be (?) 15mm in diameter, and this coin might have only the two words, Basileos and Antiochou.
As you said, the others with tripod are bronze.
This is not my area of knowledge, but your coin interested me, so I tried.  Probably this is useless to you.
