  1. It's a drachm, the specs fit. With 3.85g it falls to the lighter side of the denomination but lighter ones are recorded. Authentication is hard based only on internet photos, but you might want to go to http://forgerynetwork.com/ and check out their database with fakes to see if any of them is a die match. But I think it is most likely real.
  2. I had one collector who emailed me saying that it was made on 1 & 2 pengo coins 1941-1944 by commie partisans who roamed an area in today's S-E Slovakia to keep track of the coins that circulated on their territory, kind of like ancient gallic, germanic or thracian tribes used to do w/ roman currency that came to be used there. Unfortunately he couldn't give any real reference for his story so I am still not convinced. That's pretty much why I am still asking around
  3. I think it's rather Zeno AE4 RIC X Thessa or Nicomedia 964, Thessa being more common so more likely.

  6. Hello all, this is my first message here, thank you for having me I came across this very interesting coin (in my opinion) that I couldn't find much about online. It is a KM251 1pengo 1941 BP, Al but it has this interesting sickle & hammer countermark on the rev. I would like to ask you for more information about these countermarks, if possible. Why were they made? By whom? Are these rare? etc. Thank you very much All best regards.
