This one stood out in the lot of 126 coins: it&#039;s completely green, relatively large (most coins were ~10-15 mm), sharply minted, and heavy (that is, compared to the others).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>GREEK, The Bruttii.</b></p><p><b>AE Drachm, minted: Bruttium; 211-208 BC. </b></p><p><img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0vmpydyb7ohsq0/The%20Bruttii%20-%20Drachm%20%28211-208%20BC.%29.jpg?raw=1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Obverse: Laureate head of Zeus right, within dotted border </p><p>Reverse: [BPET] / TIΩN, eagle standing left with open wings and head reverted, at left plough.</p><p>Weight: 7.6g; Ø:21mm.
