Object type: COIN
Broad period: GREEK AND ROMAN PROVINCIAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An extremely worn copper alloy ancient greek or Hellenistic coin, possibly an Obol or Chalkon of the Ptolomeic dynasty of Egypt. The obverse depicts the bearded head of Zeus Ammon, right. The reverse is entirely illegible and has a small blob of red sealing wax, suggesting the coin was mounted to a board for display. The patina is highly polished from handling and lacks evidence for corrosion. This together with the evidence of mounting suggests a modern "collector's loss", possibly a wartime souvenir brought back from Egypt.

A Roman provincial copper-alloy coin of Tabae, Caria (Turkey), dating to the period AD 253-268. The edge of the flan has been bent and damaged.

Copper alloy coin of Gordian III (AD 238-44), struck at Nicopolis-ad-Istrum (in Moesia Inferior). The obverse legend is illegible, but the emperor is identified fromt he style of bust. The reverse inscription records the piece as coming from Nicopolis. The reverse type might be unpublished, but we will not know until a better example of this issue is found (either from a hoard or as a site-find, or in a publication that has not been consulted), but probably shows Hermes standing left.

A Greek copper-alloy coin (uncertain denomination), minted in Syracuse, Sicily, between 317 BC and 289 BC, during the reign of Agathocles. Ref.: Seaby no. 1339 (Plant 1979: 81, no. 1339).
