He is wearing a Lion Skin. The Lion Skin is from the Nemeaen Lion killed by Hercules with his bare hands. Rev: Zeus seated, holding an Eagle in his outstretched hand Weight: 15.1 grams Diameter: 24 mm diameter (Slightly smaller than a US Quarter and thicker) Condition: Very Fine" I am no expert on these coins but this looks to be similar to yours, there are more examples of similar coins on the site. I can give no opinion as to if yours is genuine or a copy. Hope this is of some help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
