ILLYRIA
« on: December 13, 2007, 05:14:22 am »
Illyria - AR Drachm
it seems to be from Dyrrachium
i identifyed it as:

Illyria, Dyrrhachium AR Drachm. After 229 BC. FILWTAS, cow standing right, looking back at calf which is suckles / DUR KLEANOROS, square containing double stellate pattern. BMC 84.

but my obv legend doesn't seem to be FILWTAS but TEIAN or LEIAN

what is it?

Reverse die listed BMC 60

DEINO KLE OS, double floral pattern within square.

Obverse #60:
AFPO
DISIOS
Cow stands right, suckling calf beneath.

It seems obvious obverse legend / magistrate not the same as on the coin.
No other matches for Dyrrhachium or Apollonia in the BMC

BMC 84 has different legends for both obverse and reverse

infact it's not on BMC. An expert in Illyrian coin told me Ceka 379
