i have no idea on that one sorry...man is it little.

 

its ok i

will call it coin of sparta lol

 

Someone may be able to correct me but didn't Spartan law forbid the minting of coins? As far as I know the Spartans never issued a coin. I am pretty sure they used iron spits. It was meant to discourage greed and hoarding of wealth.

 

u r right ... so i will c

all this coin (unknown coin with symbol of movie 300 lol )

 

In early times, Sparta had no coins but there are coins from later periods starting about the time of Alexander the Great (long after Sparta ceased to be a major power). Most common are the hemidrachms of the city as part of the Achaean League in the 2nd century BC. This is not any of the types I recognize.

 

Could it be an Alpha = A on a Byzantine nummis? They have a head on the other side which is often very weak. For example, Sear Byzantine #173.

 

thank you so much grandpa but you didn't give me any useful answer lol

 

i agree with , you are right maybe its byzantine coin
