    She (I think the image is of a woman) is a little bronze lady at 15x13 MM. I cannot make out the reverse, though it appears to have writing on it. Can anyone help me ID her?

    Ooh, I haven't even heard of Yike (must be a distant cousin of Nike!)...oh wait, you just weren't being helpful at all:p

    Hi @Ryro. I just am starting to study Greek ancients. Would it be much trouble to ask you to please turn the reverse another quarter turn clockwise or counterclockwise and reshoot it so that the legend will be running vertically? My brain seems to want to see Greek legends that way. Something is familiar about your coin (besides it being...you know, metal and roundish :)).

    Okay, I will gaze at this in a while when I take a break and see if something comes to mind. But my brain appreciates the new posted photograph. Thanks @Ryro.

    And you are sure it's Greek?

    Not entirely. It was in a Greek lot. And like you said, "Something is familiar about your coin (besides it being...you know, metal and roundish :))". Haha

    Didn't mean to beat-up on your coin(anymore then it already has been). There are some great experts here on CT but me thinks nothing short of consulting the oracle at Delphi will bring you much info on that one. Hope I am wrong though.
