<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 7357778, member: 44106&quot;]I would echo several others on this post and would give my initial assessment as genuine, albeit with a corroded and worn obverse, and a rather curious style (which should not immediately condemn it as a fake, as this coinage was imitated contemporarily in Arabia and likely elsewhere). From the reverse picture it seems like the metal is ancient - there are no casting bubbles and the coin looks struck rather than pressed. However, I will defer to the real experts - there are a few members of this forum who collect Athens as a specialty - who would be able to better weigh in here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
