Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 1:57 pm Very interesting looking coin, but I have no clue. I'll keep looking however. My guess would be Greek but that is pure conjecture. Report this Post to the Staff

valdiman Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 575 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 2:20 pm It is very good looking-for that reason I'm very suspicious.Not very difficult design to copy.On the other hand its really old looking.Imperfections of planchet make it believable. Report this Post to the Staff
