This one is pretty nice.

Ae-Prutah-#2,-Antonius-Felix,-54-Ad

Antonius Felix, procurator of Judea under Claudius, 52-59 AD
AE prutah, 16mm, 2.3gm
Inscription within wreath IOYΛ IAAgamma PIΠΠI NA, indicates Julia Agrippina, wife of Claudius
Two crossed palms with legend TI KΛAdeltaIOC KAICAP gammaЄPM (indicatesTiberius Claudius Caesar Germanicus) LIdelta palms translates to year 14 (54 AD
Hendin 651 (old), Hendin 1347 (new); AJC II 284 supp. V.32

(Edited to clarify the legends; copied and pasted the Greek letters from another example of the coin. Looked OK, hit "post changes', found some letters didn't display, tried again. Fail. I don't know where the character map is on this Mac--still struggling with it after 20 years of PC)

There's plenty of problems with the Greek letters. I found that some Russian letters won't display either (not to me anyway).
I highly suspect it's some forum bug; no idea why it didn't get fixed though (it's not like it comes up all that rarely).
Cool coin, by the way.
