I think I know the answer from looking at the
Members Gallery entries, but want to make sure. The only reference I have at
home that covers
Thrace is
Sear Greek, plus I have the PDF of
Schonert Geiss. I have super problems working with PDF files of reference books where jumping around is required and I have tried. Plus my
German is terrible/non-existant. LOL.
I am 99% sure my coin is
Schonert Geiss 1569. I do not have a photo offhand, but let's assume I am right.
Sear has only a couple of coins that have this design, but mine is smaller, AE 17 versus AE 24. Mine could only really be close to SG 1639 due to the
legend differences between the two (other is 1638).
Sear dates this coin as after 148 BC. I can find no date information in
Schonert Geiss outside of huge ranges where this coin falls. I am pretty sure that after 148 BC is the right answer from looking at
gallery entries, but can anyone confirm? I know this is due to my inability to read the PDF properly online and my lack of
German expertise.
Thanks,
Virgil
