Ancient coin [solved]

» Quick access to the last post

The coin below exhibits the following:

Obverse: profile of Head to the right with beard. No inscription is apparent.

Reverse: horse standing right. Greek letters Delta-Iota under belly of horse. Delta under head of horse. Lambda-N-T in the exergue. In hand examination indicates there may be other letters above the horse that are difficult to highlight with the digital image but corrosion obscures the letters making Identification virtually impossible.

Trust this may be attributed...


This coin must be tough...isn't there anyone who may shed some light on this mysterious ancient coin? Wild guesses permitted...
This seems somewhat similar.
Hope it helps

Thanks kalossaxo for the link. I now have something to go on.

Best regards,

No bother, best of luck
Pella
Pella?
Pella??
The city...
I do not have a city for the coin...the previous link indicated the kingdom of Macedonia of Philip II with the control mark ΔΙ. I have not as yet found anything that resembles my coin, but I will continue to look. Any ideas?...wild guesses permitted.
You really do not help me to help you...

Thanks KAISERKILLERfr08, Pella seems right. I prefer SNG DAN Macedonia Pella 259. But, it too is somewhat different from the subject coin. I have ΛΗΣ in the exergue, SNG DAN indicates πελλης (Pella) in the exergue. Call it a 259 variant? Or maybe I have other than a Pella coin...
Hello LHNUMIS,
In fact, πελλης ([coin] of Pella) is in capital letters and in two parts: ΠEΛ above and ΛHΣ below.
Thanks Quiquengrogne. On the subject coin the ΠΕΛ above is missing due to age (wear, porosity). On the SNG Cop Macedonia Pella 259 everything comes together including the correct monograms ΑΙ right and ΔΙ below. Thanks again to Quiquengrogne, KAISERKILLERfr08 and kalossaxo. You guys are awesome! Case closed.
