Ancient Coins @lemmy.world PugJesus @lemmy.world 4mo ago Selection of Hellenic coins, 6th-2nd century BCE
Let's see....Larissa, Thessaly: Early to mid 4th century BC. Reference is something like SNG Fitzwilliam 2394Akragas, Sicily: circa 409 BC. This is likely a signed coin of one of the true masters of classical coin artActually a coin from Argolis: 330-270 BC. BCD Peloponnesos 1090Athens - one of the classics, not an expert but looks like the version from 403-365 BCEretria - around 500-465 BC, I think. SNG Copenhagen 469Aegae - looks like 485-480 BC, De Luynes 1530Epehesos - if this is a tetradrachm it's likely 390-325 BC. NC 1880Corinth: These were struck for hundreds of years, but probably around 300 BCMassalia: Can't find this exact reverse, but looks like it's around 130 BC
Interesting!
I'd love to see the estimated year of minting for these.
Let's see....
Thank you! I don't think I'd have guessed that these coins were so EARLY.
