<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2566019, member: 44210"]Got this as part of a small mixed lot of bronzes. Only got the whole thing because I saw a Flavius Victor in it which the seller seemed unaware of. Also got a couple of neat serrated-edge Seleucid bronzes, my first Seleucid coins. Anyways, am having such a tough time with this, no surprise my lack of knowledge of Greek coins isn't quite helping (for the 50,000 or so newer members here, I'm a late Roman guy). I think I got kind of close with one city in Asia Minor but I didn't bother to jot it down and now I'm back to square 1. I do see an "IO" to left turned sideways on the reverse. I've been slowly getting into Greeks lately (already got about 4 or 5 this year so far), so if this coin turns out to be interesting for me I'll certainly keep it. This is all assuming it <b>is</b> actually Greek.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is really small, like 10 mm wide.
