paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/28/2017 10:50 pm This will hopefully get relocated to Unidentified, but if you rotate the first picture 180 degrees, it looks like two animal figures on a banner or between two staves/standards, with (Greek?) lettering to both sides, and an exergue line with lettering below. The obverse suggests a bearded bust with neckline, long hair, and possibly a ribbon left of the hair? A coin version of a Rorshach ink blot?

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 07:19 am Nice find. It's late ancient Greek, probably Seleucid. Obverse is head of Zeus, reverse is a tripod altar (upside down). I see Greek on either side but can only make out a few letters. Report this Post to the Staff

With that being said my next question is : Is this even valuable being it's completely unledgable? Report this Post to the Staff
