Hi Folks - This one is an AE19 w/ a bare-headed bust right. The head appears to be squarish, sorta flat on top. I've seen this guy before but can't remember who it is. Maybe Trajan??? I don't know. The reverse is very interesting, looks like an outstretched hand, cupped w/ three little spheres over it! No clue!! Any ideas??

Hello Adventus!
This one looks to me more as a AE fraction or the base metal insert of a fouree drachm of Philip III.
Obv.: Head of Heracles wearing lion skin. No legend
Rev.: Zeus seated left, right hand extended, holding eagle and vertical scepter in the left. Vertically legend in Greek downwards, in the right field.

Hi Vlad - Once again I'm clueless on something like this. On another site they called it Herakles head r. / Zeus Aetophoros l. So it's Macedonian. And the letters to r. on the reverse read TIO to me, so it should be some Antigonos. Does that sound about right? Thanks -adv-
