    Was cleaning up some uncleaned greeks a couple of days ago and spotted this. I'm not quite sure what the host coin is, maybe Egyptian, but the part that really intrigued me was the 'owl' countermark on the reverse. Its not as clear on the photograph as it is in hand, but does anyone have any idea what it is? Apart from the obvious answer, which is Athens?
