An the Mediterranean Sea on the other side with a line joining Cyprus and Greece. Dated 1981. OTE. CYTA. STC. And Apollon written in Greek characters. Made of bronze, 63 x 5 mm and 109.5 g or 3.87 oz Erafjel - thank you so much for your swift and comprehensive reply - you have answered all my questions!!!!!
