[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8288472, member: 110226"]I found this coin at the bottom of a dresser drawer today. This is one of the first ancients I purchased, and it has been sitting around making friends with the dust bunnies and spiders over the past 40 or so years. As I recall I purchased this coin out of a box of budget ancients, with no identification provided. It looks a lot like the bronze coins of the Thessalian League, but it could be Seleucid, but I've not seen that reverse type used for their coinage. The coin itself could be billon; at least that's what it looks like in hand. As I recall I carried it around in a pocket for a while, but not with other coins. The coin measures 25mm at the widest point, and it weighs 10.07 gram. Can anyone help? Thanks [ATTACH=full]1464832[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
