echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 8:36 pm Helmeted bust of Athena, reverse looks like Zeus throwing thunderbolt. I see what looks like a legend on the reverse but I can't make it out. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 9:12 pm Similar to an Athens Mithradatic War issue chalkous - and the size is right - but some reverse devices differ, I believe... Edited by Kamnaskires 10/26/2015 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 9:43 pm Looks authentic. Very difficult to fake that kind of patina. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 07:14 am Another (although pre-Mithradatic War) issue from Athens/Attica with similar (like the A - E) but not quite identical reverse devices...perhaps a starting point for research: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ca...g=52032&fld=http://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/ (I suspect the size on the coin at that link was supposed to read "18.4" mm) Edited by Kamnaskires 10/27/2015 08:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
