🥇 BANNER My dream day

[vince76]

Hi mates.
I'm in holidays. My best holidays. I began digging rusty metals but it ended on hammered silver coins. I wanted to share it with you but i'm speechless. I can only post the photos.
Your help is appreciated as always.
This is difficult stuff.

What a day you had! The Illyrian Drachm is killer. Thats something you can call old+it is in wonderful condition. Wow! As Crusader states, something with that age, condition and never seen here before it's Banner worthy for sure. My vote is also in.

Thank you Cru.

I received this mail from Wildwinds.

Hi Ervin
One coin is
Apollonia, Illyria. AR drachm. Magistrates Donachos and Moskoy.
DONAX above cow standing right, head turned back, suckling calf.
APOL-MO-SK-OY around double stellar pattern within square with curved sides.
Ceka 43; BMC 25-26; Mionnet Supp. 12; Maier 71
I have just added this coin to wildwinds, because it was missing there.

Your other coin is a Roman republican denarius.
M.Fannius & L. Critonius. 86 BC. Head of Ceres, AED PL behind / M Fannius and L Critonius seated, PA behind, M FAN CRT in ex. Syd 717, Cr351/1. * Sear RCV 267 * WildWinds.com

Yes, something outside of our experience, & not in our library of books. It was worth getting a full attribution. CONGRATS
