I hope to be welcome and I am obliged to welcome the Coin Community Family to my family. I wondered if anyone can identify this coin for me? It was given to me by my wife. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Poll Choices Athen Owl Athena Owl Coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 02:59 am Hello and welcome. Sorry we cannot be the bearers of good news, but this is indeed a replica, an extremely commonly seen replica of an Athens 'owl' tetradrachm if previous postings of this exact same coin on the forum are any judge. The "deformed eye" and the wings that look like two planks of wood are highly distinctive, for me at least. This thread contains a similar example, with links to two earlier threads. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 10:18 am At first I said to myself, "Oh, that could be one of those Gazan owls." Then I said "No, that's a cast copy." It's a copy. The two major imitations from ancient times are Tarnetum and Gaza, but this is neither. Report this Post to the Staff
