    This is one of the coins of my father-in-law. He bought the little bronze in about 1970. Obv. Head of Zeus right, in a stipple circle. Rev. Thunderbolt with the letter K and a Pi? I don't know if the thunderbolt should be upright or horizontal. 14 mm, 2.92 gr. Time of Augustus.

    The coin looks very Greek, but I suppose it is a Roman Provincial coin. Please give me any comments!

    @shanxi, thanks, great! And the date is that letter I thought is a Pi? It's a digamma, then. (Wow, a waw!) Well, good to know the exact date and identification.
