Cissy18 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 06/30/2025 11:18 pm Can anyone please help ID this ancient Greek coin? Bronze 19mm 9.32g. Looks like laureate-helmeted Athena on the obverse. I have no idea what the reverse is. Report this Post to the Staff

Cissy18 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 11:26 am Hm if I turn the coin it looks like maybe a hippocamp? Curled tail, wing, and loose reins? Or am I just imagining it lol. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 11:42 am Amazing work on the ID @vic! Also, I want to also express my concern about this coins exhibiting bronze disease. @cis, you should keep it separate from the rest of your collection until you have this under control.

Cissy18 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 07/01/2025 11:46 am Eek! Can bronze disease pass from one coin to the others? It was purchased with another coin and they were sent together. The other one looks ok... but should both go into quarantine? Report this Post to the Staff
