Picked this up at my my local coin shop. I know very little about ancients, but I thought it was cute even with the hole. It was listed as: "Ancient Greece, Obol 387-369 BC Ob: Amphora, Rev: Star" I don't usually see coins this small holed. The hole looks a bit small to have been held on a cord for money storage. I wonder if it might have been used as an earring at some point. 11 mm, 0.69 g Any comments and advice welcomed!
How about this? Pic NAC. Lokris Opunti acsearch.info - Auction research Lots of info on the coin if you follow the link.
Locrians are mentioned by Homer, who describes them as following Ajax, the son of Oïleus, to the Trojan War in forty ships. In the Persian War the Opuntian Locrians fought with Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae, and also sent seven ships to the Greek fleet. The Locrians fought on the side of Sparta in the Peloponnesian War. The star on the reverse may represent the Halley's Comet visible in 373 - 372 B.C.
This is the same size as yours: Macedon, Eion. Trihemiobol; 0.84 g 11mm In 2002, I saw a large number of these holed Eion coins at a coin show. There was speculation they had been a necklace. Belly dancing is also a possibility, although these seem too small for that.
