Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/22/2016 11:39 am Noticed this in a small lot with a reasonable starting bid; put in the minimum and got no competition. Can't make out much on the obverse except for part of a legend at the top: A?(M)?NA Didn't have a chance to weigh it, but it definitely appears to be bronze. Anybody happen to recognize the original type? Also, I was under the impression that fourres were generally rough under the silver clad, but the obverse seems to be crisply struck.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/22/2016 12:18 pm Given the star, rather than wing, on the helmet - as well as a hint of a crest at upper right, I wonder if that may be Athena rather than Roma...perhaps an AE issue from Pergamon? Maybe something similar to: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...?coin=316100 http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...00-5-029.jpg (I think I can make out the owl, with its beady little eyes, on your reverse) Edited by Kamnaskires 07/22/2016 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know if this will help, but here's a side by side...It's difficult to make out but I do see it, along with parts of the palm branch it's standing on. Report this Post to the Staff
