    Too strange for me. I don't claim to have seen everything but this one is new to me and, I suspect, 'new' in the worst sense of the word. The style is just not Greek of the general time frame they made coins of this nature.

    ;) Of course its fake. I did get a match on the obverse. Head of Athena, 425-400 BC from Thurium (district of Lucania, Italy), Alas thier symbol was a bull. Just thought I would throw it out there.
