    I recently purchased this coin but, despite my efforts, (and the efforts of some other collectors), I have been unable to attribute it.
    Can anyone help me please?

    It is 18 mm and 4.5 gm.

    There must have been an Irishman in Greece. Looks like a four leaf clover reverse.:p

    @Bing My thoughts, too!

    @zumbly and @TIF Thank-you. I think you have it.
    (When it arrives I will check the inscription.)
    If I had searched 'Rose' (instead of 'clover') I may have been more successful.
    Terrific. Thank-you, again. (My US$6 was well spent.)

    Yeah, that's a heck of a deal at $6! It's very attractive :)
