Newbie need I.D. help with Celtic? coin

[Coinshooter]

Hi all,

They say you all know your stuff. Can anyone give me an I.D. on this coin? It is silver, and weighs 5.7 grams
One guy said he thinks it's celtic, so this is where I am asking. Any ideas on value would be much appreciated also. Measures just a little over 3/4".

I guess you folks must be stumped? Not much help . And I thought this site would really be great!
Doesn't anybody recognise this piece?

[Robert_Brenchley]

A scan of the reverse would help. I do have some stuff on UK Celtic coins, but that's as far as it goes.

Robert,

i'm not sure but perhaps he posted reverse in a new topic.

I haven't seen anything like this.  It looks Greek.  The reverse shows a female head (with distinctive hairstyle) facing right and one or two letters (one seems to be an 'O').

The obverse shows... what?  Pegasos?  A horse?  Nike?  I'm mystified.

[Robert_Brenchley]

Can't find anything like it, I don't think its a UK coin. Could it be Greek? I'm actually quite unsure where one ends and the other begins.

Thanks Tacrolimus,
How did you get both pics next to each other like that?

I looked at the figure on the front of this coin and thought it was a man, but maybe it's just an ugly woman! The letter above the o appears to be an upside down v.

There must be someone out there who is an expert on all of these types of coins (celtic or not). Pull out those books that I don't have guys and see what pics you have.

Thanks,
Coinshooter

I simply merged the images you posted by photoeditor into a new file; anyway you can also post a second image (ie coin's reverse) simply replying to your own post.
Finally, i can't identify your coin. Sorry

I don't know if this will add any value to what has already been discussed but this is what I see. I don't know of any coin that matches the description but then again this is not my area.
Could the bust on the reverse be an attempt at "Head of Hercules in lionskin", rather than an odd hairstyle. The obverse looks more like a gryphon springing right to my eyes than a pegasus, it's something about the shape of the head.
It could be celtic imitative but I can't tell.
Anyway, that may have added no value to the discussion but it was worth a shot.

Thanks guys. I'll keep looking, maybe something will pop up.

I know nothing about theese coins, but do anybody see in the obverse the Ephesus bee?

It seems that most of this thread has disappeared, including Tacrolimus' correct ID of the coin as Sear 3175, Crete, Gortyna, drachm.

[Joe Sermarini]

Hmm, wasn't me.  

[tacrolimus]

The "solution" is in a different thread of "Identification help" section.

Shows how counterproductive it is to ask the same question on two different boards, as some overeager participants do in the mistaken belief that it will increase their chances of obtaining an answer!
