I think ths coin is a Greek coin but I'm not sure as I cannot find it. It's only 15mm and weights only 2.6 grams.

^ link not working (for me anyway)

Prusias II AE16?
I think the caduceus reverse is unusual but I do remember seeing one like that.

Edit:
links to that site remove the page detail for some reason.

Not sure why it parses the individual page out of the link, but you can at least manually type it from the screenie.

It's a nice coin and if legit (other people would need to weigh in on that, I'm just good at remembering odd shapes.) then seemingly quite rare.

Wow, I just noticed the "Very rare type" statement on the page above. I don't know what that equates to, but I guess I did good buying this coin back in 1999!

Me either, but it usually means something good.
That sale was in 2005 so I'd assume it's worth more now unless loads more of them were found.
And the only other reference to it I could find was this in the British Museum..

www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_BNK-G-441

(doesn't like that link either)

Thanks for the information @Gainn ! I didn't have much luck finding one on line either. It's always good to hear that your original investment has increased!!!
