Post by: sinnb-sinnb on September 20, 2021, 05:48:00 pm

Hi can anyone help me ID this small greek coin.
I think it is apollo obverse, and a rose at reverse.

Size: 10,1 mm

Weight: 1,16 g

Thank you in advance,  :)

Yes, I have tried Caria Rhodes, on most of the coins, Apollo is looking front.
The only one, I have found that almost looks like it, is SNG Copenhagen 860, same type of reverse, but on obverse Apollo is radiate.

Obverse deity is not Apollo.
This is very common coin:
