Hi WS,

I think your attribution is correct. As soon as I looked at your photos, I immediately thought of that city.

I have an example of that issue (second coin):

My example is a pedigreed coin from the Lindgren collection.

Hi Meepzorp
The city probably agrees , onli yours is Apollo , and mine would be better suited to , Artemis or Aphrodite , I think ?

Hi WS,

I think you are correct. The hair on your example more closely matches the coin in the acsearch link.

The style of the lyre is the same. It is distinctive to that city and maybe a few other cities.
