Defaced Mysia, Pergamum Pseudo-autonomous issue
« on: May 13, 2015, 10:29:28 pm »
The first example is a coin I recently acquired on impulse.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-120776

I was wondering if anyone had an idea why it might have been defaced this way or any other information on this type. 

I found another example with similar defacing in the second picture.

Thanks,
Nemo

Looks like he was not a friend of the Romans.  ;D
