pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/05/2015 08:16 am From the edges, I am not sure whether I can see a seam, which would mean that it is a cast fake. The reverse of the coin shows an Athenian Owl, the AOE stands for Athens, I believe. I have never seen the obverse before, it certainly doesn't look like Athena. I hope I am wrong. Our American friends should be waking up soon, hopefully you will get more information. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/05/2015 10:23 am Fascinating peacock (?) headdress on the obverse. Doesn't match any Athenian (AOE) drachms or tetrobols that I know of. Perhaps a struck fantasy piece? Edited by Kamnaskires 07/05/2015 10:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/05/2015 10:41 am to the community Your coin is supposed to be from Attica (Athens). The reverse has the Athenian Owl and the legend for the city. However the obverse is not one that I've seen associated with this type. I've checked several sources none show this obverse type. I've also checked several fake sites with negative results. At this point I can't say if it's real or not. Report this Post to the Staff
