There are many countermarks struck seemingly in a hurry which end up in my view spoiling a coins appearence, yours however is quite the opposite.

Fantastic countermark Q. ;) +++

I do like the countermark - I like that the ancient minters matched the owl with Athena!!

Hi gord,

That may be true. Or it may be a complete coincidence. I know that the owl countermark is commonly found on Mysia, Pergamon coins.

I think I have one. Hopefully, someday very soon, when photos of my coins are posted online, I'll be able to post photos of my coins in threads like these.
