[QUOTE="jb_depew, post: 3876414, member: 88227"]I dug this rough, little bronze coin out of a drawer today and am having a bit of trouble identifying it. I'm guessing the difficulty is why it went into the drawer in the first place, several years ago. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/pxuozLu.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/WXjM69I.jpg[/IMG] It feels like a Greek coin. It's 2.12 grams and 12mm in diameter... A bit chunky in hand. The obverse features a head right, with a character or mark in the left field. The visible part of the mark looks like the right half of a capital English letter "V". The reverse seems to be the body of a fish hugging the outside edge. I can't make out any details in the center of the flan at 10x magnification. Any wild or educated guesses on what this might be?
