sturzny Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Looks like a die trial to me. Either an odd variety or a counterfeit. Fascinating piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Wow! That's very interesting. The pattern sure looks real enough, although I've never read of counterstruck coins for Greece. That doesn't mean they don't exist. Either way, it's quite a curiousity piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
