Help For the New Ancient Coin Collector / Re: How to tell mint / who's at his feet?

Thank you so much!  Does the captive tell a specific story?  Does he narrow down the date at all?

Help For the New Ancient Coin Collector / How to tell mint / who's at his feet?

« Last post by Ralph S on Yesterday at 03:54:21 am »

Hi, I apologize in advance for my ignorance. 
Got the coin attached from Jordan.  I was unable to find any likeness online.  The crouching figure to the sun's feet ist not something I found anywhere else.  Does anybody have information on this?  Also, can someone help me tell which mint this was made in?

Czy to przypadkiem nie resztki krzyżyka albo którejś z możliwych literek?

Rozumiem, że teoretycznie może tam być też coś do tej pory nienotowanego? Z notowanych literek w tej serii najbardziej przypomina mi to "R", a jeśli miałbym wyjść poza zestaw z katalogu, to coś pomiędzy "T" a "A". Krzyżyk, który znalazłem dla tej emisji na wildwinds wygląda bardziej na krzyż grecki, więc raczej odpada.

I think it is a cast, or not?
Which type is it? I didn't find similar coins online.

Thanks for your reply

I do not think so, Virgil. The sitting archer is a characteristic Parthian design.
Look here: on this forum Kamaskires wrote an article on it:
