ID Help Please. I believe may be Caligula provincial
« on: July 17, 2016, 09:51:15 am »
Greetings:

I have tried for days to figure out this one, but I am stumped.  I believe the legend is  :Greek_Gamma:AIO :GreeK_Sigma: EBA :GreeK_Sigma:TOY...  The other side is weak but there appears to be "...IKE..." directly behind the portrait going downward.  The coin weighs 7.95 g and is 23mm wide.  It is 2mm thick.  Thanks!
