porphyrogenita Posted August 21 · Member Share Posted August 21 Reminds me of this coin from Thurii, but it doesn't look like an exact match (maybe it'll work as a jumping off point though!) Thurii, Lucania (c. 260 BC) AE hemiobol (4.49 g) obv: ΘOYΡIA, wreathed head of Demeter left rev: ΠAΡME above bull butting left, fish in exergue ref = SNG Copenhagen 1514 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benster118 Posted August 22 · Member Author Share Posted August 22 I think it is this. Just looks so much more crude than that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at acsearch all of the bulls of this type are butting left, yours is clearly butting right. And I am not sure that is Demeter. Do you have the size and weight so that we can further assist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
