I got this one at Kelly's. They have a website: You must be logged in to see this link.
I have never ordered anything except foreign coins from them -- here's a direct link to their foreign coins: You must be logged in to see this link.
It looks like they are out of the 1973 Greek 2 drachmai with the owl, but it wouldn't hurt to send them an e-mail to see if they have more in stock. The shop is quick to reply, so if you do e-mail to ask, it shouldn't take long to hear back from them. I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times now and been very happy.

HoardCopper, I didn't get the real thing, but here's something pretty close -- it's a 1973 2 drachmai coin:
I saw a lion coin from the Congo in a catalog and thought of you. You probably know the one I'm talking about. It's aluminum and the lion's head takes up the entire face of the coin.
Yes, I have that lion coin in my collection. My favorite lion coin is a silver one with a full lion on it from Babylon.  |
