sefoan Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hello to everybody, I'm for the first time here I need some help to identify this ancient coin. This is a silver coin, probably from Myrina, on avers side double portrait and the reverse represents a woman, nominal (probably 1 drachma) and a name "MYRINAI.."Could someone tell more and name the approximate value for today. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 One the second photo neat the bottom it looks like there might be a casting seam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefoan Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hello, thanks for comments, I put some photos that would help more to investigate. There is barely a casting seam present on this coin at least for today, it is more like a reflex of light in the photo but there are plenty of smaller or bigger holes on surface. So could it be just a cast copy? And what period does it represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefoan Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hello once more, has anyone some ideas what this coin might be? I unsuccessfully try to find some right links on the web but these with double portrait looking to West aren't among majority it links to Babylon or am I wrong?

Benz Gemz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Babylon was a pre-coinage empire. to me it looks like a cast fake, possibly a fantasy piece of Alexander the great and someone else, possibly one of his generals.
