Help please ID on AE18 - Chimera walking right
« on: September 18, 2016, 04:44:48 am »
I can’t find any similar coins. The Chimera has the style of Sikyon
Obv: Chimera walking right perhaps raising a fore leg? 
Rev: Head of Athena right wearing Corinthian helmet
17.4 -18.2mm  6.0gr axis 6hr Thanks

It seems to be from Leukas:

By the way: The chimaira is walking to left and Athena is looking to the left as well  ;)
