Unknown 19mm Greek AE Grazing Horse? Cow?
« on: September 21, 2007, 03:32:39 pm »
I purchased this very nice Greek 19mm 9.4g coin at an estate sale.  .  I believe that is a grazing horse on the reverse.  Such coins are somewhat out of my knowledge base and I would appreciate assistance in identifying it.

Looks similar to this coin of Pella (a plough between legs).

I don't know if Cop 266ff is indeed your coin.
On the other hand SNG ANS 598 (see first link on my previous post) seems to be quite fine:
