The pics of the first coin are way too small for us to see what it is (though it appears to be a tetradrachm of Alexander), but unfortunately, the pics of the second coin are good enough for us to tell that they are of a very crude modern replica of an Athens "owl" tetradrachm. The weird distorted shape of the eyes on the owl are very distinctive. Here's another thread with one. I wish I had better news for you, I'm afraid. 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
