Diameter 18.6mm, Weight 5.3gr I believe this is a Byzantine coin, I'm not sure if I got the photos correct, I can read the word ΝΙΚΗΦΟΡΟΥ, I spend a lot of time searching but no luck Report this Post to the Staff

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 3:56 pm I was thinking an overstrike on ancient greek coin, maybe on Athena's head because I see some tracks of a helmet to the left, is not very clear if is a counterstamp, I will check it out the Pergamon to see if I got an answer. Thank you for your idea! Report this Post to the Staff
