dwastwood17 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 5:42 pm I have one more interesting ancient Greek coin. It appears to show a bird (eagle?) sitting on a log with lightning bolts to its left. The obverse seems to show the head of one of the Ptolemys. The coin is made of bronze and has a diameter of 15 mm and weighs 3.05 grams. Any hints to its identity please? Edited by dwastwood17 07/13/2025 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe similar to this AE featuring Zeus on the obv? https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=13342700 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
