lunchboxlust Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 My father and I were looking at his father’s coin collection and came across this coin and after 2 days of both of us looking at similar coins without finding a match I figured I would ask you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I believe its a stater of Acarnania with a pegasus reverse and head of Athena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchboxlust Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 well i can find a lot of coins that look like it but none that are exactly the same. i posted it up on a second site as well and they found one that i have already found but the k and a are in different places on my coin. i don’t know if these type of coins have variations or what but my father has quite a large coin collection and i am just trying to figure a estimated worth so he can get it insured.

Drusus Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 There are many many many variations of this type of coin for sure, when I get home tonight I can look further into the actual variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Probably a variant, close to this type: Corinth, Greece, 405 - 345 B.C. Silver stater, Pegasi I 354/2 variety, Corinth mint, ca. 8.20g, 20.5mm, 180°, obverse Pegasos flying right, koppa below; reverse head of Athena (or Aphrodite) right wearing Corinthian helmet, ornamented trident behind, K - A across fields, Calciati notes this type as a variety of 354/2, which has KA right.

Drusus Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 http://www.corinthstaters.com/new-john.html Yeah, Arminius is right...on the page above look for Pegesi 353 / BMC Corinth 360 - Trident / KA The KA is located on either side of the bust unlike yours. If I were you I would post a decent picture of it on Forum Ancient Coins to get an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
