<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 72953, member: 283&quot;]Well now, you just don&#039;t come across these inside of fortune cookies. That is, not if it is genuine. So if you don&#039;t mind me asking, how did you happen upon this item? They are reasonably scarce and seldom seen. They are however subject to the counterfeiters arts so great care has to be taken in making any assessment of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin professes to be a gold Octodrachm of Arsinoe II wife of Ptolemy II of Egypt. The legend reads `ARSINOE PHILADELPHOY&#039;. A google search will probably give you all the background you want to know concerning the history and personalities portrayed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of interest, what size&nbsp; / weight is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
