<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4520240, member: 110226&quot;]That&#039;s a very nice example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another recent arrival.&nbsp; This coin, too, is from Egypt, very similar to yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin seems to have additional designs on the obverse, at 3 o&#039;clock.&nbsp; As far as I can determine, so far, the additional elements are a bird (ibis?) above, an amphora (below), to the left, an animal (lion?), and to the left of that, the Greek letter for &quot;g&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin weighs 17.0 grams, and came from Israel in 2014, according to the seller.&nbsp; The coin was cleaned, unfortunately, and it has a countermark on the reverse as well as small scratch running parallel to the owl&#039;s wing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still trying to figure out what else is going on with the obverse.&nbsp; I do not think this is a case of die rust.&nbsp; The designs seem intentional and are part of the die, not a counterstamp.&nbsp; Overall, this is an interesting owl.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1119791[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1119793[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
