Bkdonigan New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/26/2018 5:28 pm Picked this coin up at an auction at what I think is a good price. I searched and searched online but couldn't find anything that looked even close. It was sold as a silver medallion mounted in 14kt gold. No idea its history. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/26/2018 5:56 pm I suspect it is a jeweler's copy of a coin of Olynthos (in the Chalcidian league as Bob L suggested). I once had a similar copy, removed from jewelry. I may actually have it still. I will look. Edited by Kushanshah 08/26/2018 6:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
