pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 7:19 pm Just got these. You have told me what the first one is, but can anyone tell me what the other coins are? I love that bull, I think one looks like a griffin or some such. No idea about the yellow one. Report this Post to the Staff

Yeoldecoins Valued Member 384 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 9:04 pm Wont take long and you will recognise quite a few coins yourself.....they follow patterns generally, with symbols and the like for each Greek island or part of the kingdom. ie. Dolphins/owls/bulls/ears of corn/turtles etc etc. nice few lots there and some lovely little bronzes. Report this Post to the Staff
