Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 7:04 pm This coin came in a lot of unattributed ancients. It's an AE-23 weighing seven grams. There appears to be a bearded head, facing right, on the obverse. The reverse has two animals reared up on their hind legs facing each others. I can't tell if they are rams or horses or ? Any help would be appreciated. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Could your coin be an AE from Thessalonica maybe: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces147112.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
