blakeyboy Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I've just been sent these pics from a friend, who found this coin in her late Mother's estate, so I doubt very much if it's a modern fake. (I've asked for measurements.) Quote

I think I can just see the curve of the Rho in the bottom left quadrant. 1 Quote
