[QUOTE="Gao, post: 651052, member: 19409"]The text is there, but it's very hard to read. It's all the lumpy stuff above and to the right of the bust. It's largely off the flan (it's pretty common for ancient coins to be struck off center), and I'm having a lot of trouble making anything out of it. In case it wasn't clear, by "delta," I meant the Greek letter delta, which is a triangle. I can't quite tell from the picture if it's an A with stubby legs or a delta with serifs. In any case, I suppose you want to know what it's worth, given the forum you posted this in.
