    Hey guys! I bought a lot of ebay and this was one of the coins that came in it. It's big at 27mm and it looks like it has a temple on the reverse. I've not seen one of these types before and was wondering if someone could help me get started on my search. I usually use acsearch, but I don't have enough keywords to go on other than "greek coin temple" lol. Thanks!

    On the reverse, it looks like the inscription starts out "Perga...", so maybe search through coins of Pergamon?
