micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 5:04 pm Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my Greek coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! Diameter 20x21mm, Weight 8.2g, Bronze I believe the coin comes from Sicily, but no matter how much I tried I couldn't identify it. On one side is maybe helmeted Athena or they are letters above the bust, can't tell for sure. On the other side maybe Athena standing ? Report this Post to the Staff

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 5:42 pm hey Bob and John, thanks a lot for your replies. yes I know, I search for Tyche as well but without luck so I focus on Athena, for example Tyrrhenoi is having a sort of similar style of coin but is not that and the quality of my coin is not helping at all. it will stay a puzzle to solve or uncertain Report this Post to the Staff
