This coin is unusual..shield-shaped..very unusual monogram..it looks like X-Mas ornaments..Anyone seen it before? 3.80gr 16.8mm Thanks
Something from Macedon, similar to this. There are many varieties of symbols and whatnot I believe so you'll probably have to search around a bit to find an exact match but that should get you going in the right direction.
Cool OP-shield, Kirk ... congrats on scoring that sweet example I have a bunch of cool shield-types ... wanna see 'em?
@KirkCumberland - Cool type in the OP coin, there. From a very historically important place and time! I bought a really nice example of that type, once (they're pretty affordable), but it got stolen from the dealer at a show before he could ship it. I got a refund, but thus never really got a chance to enjoy that one. Neat stuff as usual, @stevex6 .
