Lydia/ persian empire gold coin
« on: April 11, 2010, 01:12:16 am »
Hi i have this gold coin that i think might be a Lydia/ persian empire gold coin, could anyone tell me anything about it.
Ive attached a couple of photos and cant seem to find any information on the coin anywhere.
Its in great condition and weighs about 4 grams and is about 2cm wide. Thank you very much.
