At first I thought it to be a tree of some sorts and then after doing some research realized it was an anchor and I therefor think it's Greek and of Apollonia Pontika. I just couldn't seem to find one which the anchor has dots or eyes underneath it as mine does. I am also considering it could be a fake, however seems unlikely. Although I am altering the size and Kb of my image of the observe it is not working, it is fairly worn but a bust tilted upward facing left can be seen on the right side of the coin. I also hope you can discern how small it is based on the staples in the pictures. I appreciate any information I can get, Thanks so much -Jake. https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/upload...1oj4e5r.jpeg https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/upload...hvdttqt.jpeg Edited by Daj 11/11/2019 3:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Have you tried running the file through the free CCF image optimizer?
