<p>[QUOTE="Brian Bucklan, post: 2985690, member: 76544"]I agree with you. I think Emmett calls these "Nomes" dichalkon issues. What gives it away is the reverse which includes not only the date but a Greek legend above, with each of the various issues having a different legend. The few I found in searches are almost identical in size/weight to your example, and are all quite scarce to rare. If legible the reverse legend will point you to the proper attribution (if it is even listed).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
