Foreign Coin Feature : Greece

Post by Dave8472 »

Greece added to the index. Here are my Greek coins found in the UK

Most were found in Kent and even the London ones are postal Kent (PAS = Greater London) as that's where I mainly detect. A few notes on the coins. All the 'copper alloy' ones are colour photoshopped in order to harmonise the colour variations in photography so they are not all brown in real life. The sizes are also scaled but there is nothing unusual in any of them that need explaining ::g. If you spot any dating errors on the spreadsheet timeline please let me know !

Please feel free to add any Greek (ONLY) coin finds to my post, always interested to see others ::g

Coins added can be found anywhere in the world ;)

Only Greek one I have Dave. It came from the same garden in NW London as my first cartwheel penny (which was also my very first coin) and that was in excellent condition too.
