It's quite dirty but I didn't do anything to it or clean it etc. I know it's not extremely valuable either, like a couple grand but it is something, and I think the person on the coin is Aristotle.

It's free shipping i'll put it in an envelope (that i'll probably tape up so the postal service wont destroy it) and put a couple stamps. I haven't cleaned touched it or anything.

After a little bit of research on google, babelfish, and a slight familiarity with the Greek Alphabet as well as the Greek Language, I managed to find a translation of the words on the back of the coin. The word APAXMAI is actually DRAKMA or drachma. The words the go around the edge of the coin translate into the words Greek Democracy, which as you know Greece is where Democracy originated from.

I like this coin. The good thing is you never cleaned it. Some people hate when others clean them. Truthfully I would rather clean it myself. cool auction.
