oleg212 Valued Member Canada 66 Posts	Posted 05/04/2017 7:25 pm i have a silver coin that I cant identify. the only think I know about it is that one side has a man who I think is throwing a spear, with the other side being what looks like a cow or some other similar animal to me. Any ideas on more specific identification/value? thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
