Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7067 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 2:18 pm Quote: like Alexander the Great Actually it copies a tet from Bithynia. Specifically an issue of Prousias I Cholos, with Zeus Stephanephoros on the reverse, legend: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠPOYΣIOY. Edited by Kamnaskires 03/25/2018 2:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34542 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 2:24 pm Ok yes, "Gold Bond" is another term for "gold filled". Similar to gold plating, except for a thicker layer of gold so it shouldn't wear through. As others have said, it is not a real coin and so has no numismatic value. I'm thinking that the intrinsic value from the gold is low and so you likely just have a shiny pendant.
