The obverse image and the legend looks Spanish/Hispania to me.

Ancient and Medieval Coin Identification Help / Greek obol or hemiobol bull forepart / crescent

« Last post by helvetica on Today at 08:00:51 am »

I have a feeling that the legend on this might be Carian.
AR obol or hemiobol (depending on the standard), 7.3 mm, 0.37 g.
Forepart of bull right / legend around crescent (dor dot in crescent).
Does anyone know where it is from ?

Varbanov does not list your type - listing only (no. 3834) with the eagle standing on a wreath.
However, Hristova & Hoeft lists your coin as no. 86.1.24 or 25 (the coins are not individually numbered, just lumped together - in this case 86.1.24-27, depending on the legends).

My own translation has a number of additions, but it is only the actual coins list, not the "bla bla" pages.

Possibly Leo IV. I’d suggest 8th century.

Thanks very much. Could be it: https://coins.labarum.info/en/catalog/681 Leo V the Armenian (813-820) AE Follis Syracuse (Sicily) SB 1638 ?

Jakoś się dotąd nie natknąłem

Bo też i przesadziłem z liczbą mnogą - używa tego tylko ten jeden dom aukcyjny. Mnie też się bardzo spodobało :-)
