Ancient Greek coin with lyre
« on: June 15, 2017, 05:56:17 am »
Found in grandfather's coin collection, did not specify year nor the king on the coin. It is from Ancient Greece and has a lyre on it.
Size: 15 mm
It is bronze.

It does not look fake, and it was from my grandfather's collection.

It looks legitimate to me, but I cannot remember where it is from.

How about Apollo on the obverse, Lyre on the reverse with greek text on the sides of the lyre?  Maybe Kolophon, Ionia?
