mikehy Valued Member South Africa 147 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 03:15 am Hello all, I would appreciate if this coin can be identified and also an approximate retail value for it in current condition. If our experts could also advise if genuine or not. Coin appears to be silver, weight is 1.0 grams and diameter is 1.1 cm. Many thanks in advance to the expert opinions I should receive, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Regards, Mike. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

museumguy Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 07:13 am Mike, I wouldn't necessarily classify myself as an expert but I would have to say this coin looks like a modern fantasy piece - kind of cartoonish. Just my opinion. Steve S. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 12:46 pm This is a trihemiobol from Thrace. The obverse depicts a satyr kneeling, holding a kantharos; the reverse shows an amphora. Looks good to me, but I'd recommend posting to the ancients board for others to chime in there. Artistry ranges greatly with these issues with some, as Steve says, looking cartoonish and others a bit more naturalistic.
