<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2370789, member: 75525&quot;]Bing - nice coin. Post anything you find on countermarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received this on last week. I attempted to make a better pic of the mark. My eyes tell me there are 4 to 5 dots and a fish that looks like the Tunny fish. Coins of Spain (Gades), Sicily (Akragas), Luciana, Mysia, and probably more have similar fish. </p><p>I showed my new coin to several dealers at shows I attended. One suggested that coins from Sicily circulated in Spain and the tunny fish was used there. He said to look for an article by Clive Stannard. I have not had any luck finding any info on the mark. Hope you have more luck.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]484640[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]484641[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]484642[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]484668[/ATTACH] </p><p>Sicily, Syracuse, 400-390 BC.
