[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 695928, member: 19456"]You folks are good.... Stainless, in the part you quoted, that was a joke :) It does appear to have been a thunderbolt on the reverse. It does seem to resemble the coin Cucumber posted! I will wait some more time to see if I get any more responces on it. But...I will point out that a member on the FORVM forum came up with the same basic design as Cucumber posted....I think that is a good sign towards possible attribution...And I am comparing the pictures and there do seem to be depressions in the face where the eye was, and also a lump behind the bust that COULD have been a quiver... It looks like the obverse was struck off center and that the chin and lips may have been basically cut off the coin...what do you think? So...we as a group have been able to figure out it probably looks a lot like the coin posted...but it's smaller and lighter. So, does that mean it would be from a different date? Or perhaps a different city state? Did they even use the same designs in different city-states? Or would it just have been a smaller denomination? Either way, Thanks!![/QUOTE]
