[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 2710368, member: 75641"]Sorry, I forgot to put the diameter in the OP. It's 15.0mm. Which puts it in the realm of many AE coins with the Athena/owl combo. I agree that I had to rule out Pergamon, Mysia because the owl is usually on a palm and wings are open as noted by TIF. The Attica coins could very well be it except for the control marks/letters to the bottom left. I see no HO to the bottom left of my mystery coin. Also no control mark to the top right.
