I found her irresistible and worthy of a higher bid , even tho i knew nothing about her..now i&#039;m more educated on the subject.. and while this coin may not be one of the original coins stuck before 480 BC(who can say?!?), it&#039;s an imitation that warrants having and is a ancient Greek coin regardless and much rich in history(Homer mentions the place in the Iliad), changing hands many times as to show great wear, but still enough detail left to see what it is.&nbsp; now without further ado i present to you Histiaia of Euboea Greece.</p><p><br /></p><p>POST YOU COMMENTS AND COINS PEEPS!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]819034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]819035[/ATTACH] Silver Tetrobol Histiaia, Euboea Greece, before 146 BC, 13mm 1.33gms.
