[QUOTE="Cliff Reuter, post: 8351386, member: 115140"]Greetings. I recently went to Spain at the invitation of my son. He did all the planning and managed to survive 10 days of me misplacing/losing things. We managed to visit Plaza Mayor in Madrid on two consecutive Sundays where this coin caught my eye as a great memento of the trip. Since I know virtually nothing about ancients I thought of this forum on CT because of how knowledgeable and enthusiastic everyone here is. (Hopefully, it's real.) From what I can tell after I returned and started taking images, the details do jump out but someone did a poor job of accentuating those devices. There are lite trenches in the remaining soil around most details. Let me know if more or close-up images will help. Obv.- Female(?) bust facing right with OBVLOO Rev.- Plow above Two rows of Letters/Characters (Greek?) Wheat Ear vertical across the bottom. Thanks in advance for any help with any info. EDIT: Forgot to include the weight and diameter. 13.3 grams 26.3 to 28.5 mm [ATTACH=full]1481728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1481730[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
