Tripod reverse
« on: July 04, 2007, 12:21:03 pm »
Found a coin in my "Hmmm" box.  It is a whopping 10.15mm in diameter, scales out at 1.7 grams.  I can make out NO legends and on the attached scans have "highlighted" what is seen with coin in hand.

Any thoughts?  thanks Jim

Looks a bit more like a caduceus on the (reverse?). I'd point it out, but don't have paint here.  :-\

With the lebed above it must be a tripod. The 'caduceus' I think belongs to the construction of the tripod. An alternative would be 2 snakes coiling around the middle foot of the tripod.!
The obverse then should be Apollo

Best regards
