Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 2:10 pm I have been trying to find a match for your coin, but no luck for me so far. The obverse looks to me like Athena wearing a Corinthian helmet and the reverse looks like a club, possibly the club of Hercules, and a bow and quiver. I do not read Greek, so I can't make out the words. I'll keep looking. I just wanted to let you know we're trying to help with the attribution, but it may take some time.

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 10/03/2011 12:30 pm Your coin has a similar inscription to this one. http://www-cm.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/..._limit_=10#1 I think the first letter,delta and the last letter S are off the flan. All coins I could find with the club, bow and case from Erythrae have hercules on the obverse except for this one which has helmeted Athena on the obv. but the reverse does not have club,bow and case. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree...GvA_1967.jpg Don't know if this helps any?

duster New Member Bulgaria 4 Posts	Posted 10/03/2011 1:19 pm Thanks a lot. A friend of mine gave me golden ring (not ancient) and the coin was built in it.The flan is abraded to get into the hole of the ring.That's why the letters delta and S are missing.What are your suggestions - fake or genuine?
