Therad New Member Georgia 13 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 3:01 pm The coin is in bad shape, so I have 0 understanding of what is upper and lover sides :D 10x for the suggestion though! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 3:11 pm If that is a dove on the first pic, then maybe this is a coin from Sikyon? Most of them have a lion on the other side, but a few have portraits. I'm just spit-balling here though.
