<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thaivic, post: 864949, member: 23991&quot;]3 possibilites:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1 Telemachus, son of Odysseus who kept faith while his father fought the Trojans.

Can&#039;t see the emperor of the time issuing a coin in commemoration of that event.</p><p>3 The title of episode one of Ulysses by James Joyce. This would make the coin 20th century?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s fake as Siberian Man and CheetahCats say because that implies it&#039;s a copy of a genuine coin. I think it&#039;s just a token, maybe in a series for characters from Homer&#039;s works (and I don&#039;t mean Simpson) or a give away by something like Reader&#039;s Digest or petrol stations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
