constanius Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 This type; Thasos, AR Tetradrachm struck after 148 BC. Head of Dionysos right, wreathed with ivy / , Herakles standing left, leaning on a club and holding a lion's skin, M to left. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/thrace/thasos/i.html This is one type from Wildwinds page, there are others illustrated. If you google " Thasos, AR Tetradrachm struck after 148 BC. Head of Dionysos right Herakles" for images there are plenty to compare it too. I an no expert in ancient Greek coins so I can give no informed opinion as to it being genuine and there are lots of fakes of ancinet coins, that said, it looks genuine to me.
