Grey colour!. If someone can identifiy which time period and empire this coin came from, it will be heavily appreciated!. Thanks!. http://farm4!.static!.flickr!.com/3036/2768!.!.!. http://farm4!.static!.flickr!.com/3008/2768!.!.!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Your coin is a tetrobol of the Greek city of Miletus (Ionia, now W coast of Turkey)!. It is 2nd century BC, no!. 4513 in the Sear catalogue, and in good condition would fetch about $150, but yours would only get a fraction of that, as it is well-worn!. The face is that of the god Apollo, by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com My best guess is that it would be more likely to be a Greek coin, since the hairstyle on the guy on the coin looks Greek to me!. Hard to tell which time period it is from, since it's over used and faded!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
