I believe part of the attribution will say: 'Nike flying right'.
Maybe Greek.

​From Cru'dad;
''Following post (dated 24 Jun) has a coin ID request which Mackaydon has already pointed the way

Here is a Greek example of a silver Tetradrachmn in similar style with full details.

'If' this is a circa 450BC coin found in the UK, it's a BANNER coin!

Can we have better pictures of both sides?

I have only ever heard of 1 other famous case of a coin that old being recorded in the UK, it baffled the Archies....(although I haven't followed that up with more research)

Just to add another possibility, there are a group of Roman republican (and possibly later) denarii with a winged victory in a chariot on the reverse which also look somewhat similar.

Lots of varieties but one example here:

Picture of the other side of the coin would definitely be handy.

 

[russ]

thanks a lot for that looks very similar...cheers Russ

 

[russ]

to be honest it does look similar to that from what can be seen the other side is not so clear , will try and clean it up for a better pic but not sure it will get much better I m only a novice really... cheers Russ

 

[russ]

You maybe sitting on a gold-mind.

 

[Westfront]

I agree with Crusader. Looks like the Tetradrachm in his link. Very early find and Banner worth for sure.

 

[russ]

[CRUSADER]

Where is the reverse pictures?

 

[Hawks88]

Probably your coin if you show some more pics to make an ID possible. Expecially the reverse of the coin Cru asked for.

 

[Inspector]

That's a awesome find, congratulations

 

[Doug from NS]

It most definitely looks Greek to me. What is the dimension? Most Denarius should be 18 to 19 mm or so I believe

 

[A2coins]

Congrats thats a museum find

 

[russ]

Anyone know if there's any value to a coin like this or would it be another one for the attic finds bag?
