Sap Moderator Australia 16841 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 09:34 am The city in Greece is called "Athens" in English. It certainly resembles an Athenian "new style" tetradrachm, but the detail on it is very crude. I think svslav is suggesting that it might be a fake. Compare it with this one and this one on Wildwinds of the same issue. If it's a genuine coin, it may have been "tooled". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
