Greek AR 2
« on: November 18, 2014, 08:43:49 am »
Dear Board,
AR,  0.90g.
The obverse of this coin is also very similar to the bronze coinage of Larissa Phrikonis and also includes below the bull either  :Greek_Lambda:  or   :Greek_Alpha: and  :Greek_Iota: .
If it is  :Greek_Lambda: it can be a coin of Larisa also because of the style of the bull.
If it is   :Greek_Alpha: and  :Greek_Iota: it can belong to Aigai in Aiolis also.
But in either case the coin seems to be unpublished!
Where should we attach this coin?
Thank you.

smaler, no A or I, no reference given, but very similar:

The star looks different from the usual Magnesia ad Maeandrum issues. Possibly a wrong attribution ??

Thank you shanxi.
So, the conclusion is Magnesia or Aigai or Larisa Phrikonis?
May I have your vote please?
