    Hello everyone !

    Here I have again another unknown golden coin ! it measures 17 mm in diameter, weight: 2,28 gr

    What struck me about this coin is that it has modern small stamp on the rev which reads NP75 !!

    Any idea what is it ??

    Thanks in advance.

    I adjusted the brightness of your original images, but I still don't know what I am looking at on the flip-side. What is depicted?

    I cant figure out what ís on the rev ! I spent 1 hour with my eye magnifier trying to determine what kind of writing or pattern struck there but to no avain !!

    The German guy I bought it from think it is CELTIC or GREEK with modern stamp NP75

    Here is another scan !

    Looks Greek to me..they used a lot of lions and hares,but it might be a reproduction.I'll try to find it tomorrow if no one else does first..

    Sorry,I can't find this coin anywhere! Every Greek coin I located with a hare or rabbit,shows the poor guy being hauled off by an eagle.A lot of snakes meet the same fate apparently..also tons of lions but none WITH the hare.

    It is ok mate, it could be modern token since it has this NP75 stamp !

    Thank you very much for your help.
