    Not sure where you're located, but posting at 3:00 A.M. eastern time (U.S.) is not going to generate alot of responses! Be patient, someone will be along to help, as I know very little about ancients. I do know that this is a heavily conterfeited coin... and a better picture would help. Good luck!

    hey thanks for the reply

    Im in Turkey actually. This was found in Synnada. I did some research on this and this doesnt seem like tetra cuz it's not silver. it's either bronze or copper. so it must be some other greek coin. not sure though.

    Will be waiting for the replies.

    Thanks guys.

    Owl coins should be silver right? These are pretty bronzy...

    They seemed pretty fake to me too...

    What more do you want to know? Given the bronze, poorly cast state of them, its likely that they were created for the tourist trade.
