[QUOTE="Nik23, post: 5135496, member: 99810"]Hello everybody, I would be grateful if you can help me with find more about a coin that I have from my grandfather. There is quite a lot of oxidation. The images are terrible, I know, but those are the best I could get. The coin is 3 grams and 17mm in diameter. I guess it is made out of bronze. What is particularly interesting is the back side- there are two figures, holding a ring-like shape, consisting of 4 animals, that look like snakes. The two figures are difference from each other, but both have crowns, which are not quite visible from the image. Actually the more detailed image of the back of the coin is due to submerging it in olive oil for more details. If you have any ideas how to remove safely part of the oxidation, please share them. Kind regards[/QUOTE]
