Hi all.
Cor! It's been ages since I have been on here but I have a few coins that I need help with and I can think of nowhere better.
This is a Greek coin that I have had for some time and have tried to find out what it is. I'm normally fairly good at finding out my coins but have been stumped on this one.
Its 17mm diameter. I'm pretty sure obverse is Athena but seems to be facing left which is a bit unusual.
Reverse is an owl facing right. Have cleaned it a bit to try and catch some letters but wont clean anymore now.
Ok folks, get your thinking caps on and apologies for the pics. My camera is playing up a bit.

Hi Bob.
I think you have cracked it for me.
Many thanks indeed. That one has had me stumbling for quite a while.
