Oak Valued Member Brazil 117 Posts	Posted 08/05/2020 2:41 pm What is the normal alignment of this type of currency? "Medal" or "Currency?" Perhaps it is badly positioned and needs a rotation of the back. Report this Post to the Staff

Oak Valued Member Brazil 117 Posts	Posted 08/18/2020 09:27 am I believe it is a lion standing right looking back. Thus, the currency could be: head of Apollo right, within border / lion standing right within border. This pattern is found on the coins of Miletus, Ionia. On the lion's back it would be the sun that, with the wear, seems to unite the image of the animal. I found coins with the circle around the bust and without the border. Could you help me confirm.
