aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 10/12/2012 12:33 am I've never seen a reverse like this, and can't find anything like it, so any help is much appreciated! The coin is 13mm in diameter. Thanks! Moved to Ancients forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 10/12/2012 01:16 am I should mention that I've made only a small effort at cleaning it up, which may eventually lead to more clues. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 10/12/2012 2:37 pm There is one coin that has a similar appearance from Lokris, but I'm not sure about it. Found here: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=419767 Report this Post to the Staff
