« on: April 08, 2018, 09:08:11 am »
Hello folks, i have this greek coin that i got from ebay but the seller did not have much info on it?
i manage to get little info so that you might have a little more of an idea!!
I would like to know the year around when it was struck!!
Obverse; Laureate head of Apollo right.
Reverse; Victory driving biga right.
Weight; 2.5 grams
Size; 18mm
P.S. maybe a triobol or tetrobol.

Yes, yours is struck from the same modern fake dies as the second specimen.

Hi Bru,

Your coin is incused (concave) on both sides. That's usually a red flag.
