<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-monolith-, post: 24794978, member: 150064&quot;]I think your both right, looks like an incuse overstrike or possibly a countermark. It&#039;s really odd since most incuse designs are square with 2 or 4 depressions and this is circular. The obverse also appears to have some type of overstrike in the center. The only Lydia coins that have incuse designs are not a match as they typically have 2 depressions. A countermark is also a possibility although they are typically small designs and not an incuse depression. The toning is what&#039;s odd as it&#039;s consistent over the face of the coin which suggest that these depressions were made when the coins were manufactured and not later therefor reinforcing the idea over it being an incuse overstrike. Definitely an ancient mystery or to much wine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
