    I got this yesterday. Couldn´t resist the image even though I don´t really collect Greek coinage. Saying that, this is now my 5th Greek coin, so who knows.
    PERGAMON (Mysia) AE16.
    Obverse: Head of Athena right, wearing helmet decorated with 8 pointed star.
    Reverse: AΘHNAΣ / NIKHΦOPOY. Owl standing facing on palm frond right, with wings spread. Monograms ΓΑ and ΑΡ either sides of owl in fields.
    SNG Copenhagen 384. Pergamon mint, ca. 200-133 BC. 2,9 g - 16 mm

    The best looking Athena I have, New Style. Variant with Asklepios standing to the right of owl. I cleaned it, badly

    Here is your coin. All I did was save your images above to my desktop. Then tap the "upload file" at the bottom of your post. And last tap the "full Image" above your thumbnail prints. I also like to size my images through another app so that they are all the same size. Hope this helps.
