I have a greek drachm with the clasic stag standing before palm and bee on the reverse with the magistrates name Ç×ÄÓ but I can not find any info on this coin, can anyone help.

Not without a picture, I can't- and any help I'd be able to offer you then would be rather limited, I'm afraid. I have two volumes of the Sear Greek books but haven't used them much.

However, if you are able to post a picture later, I'm confident somebody will be able to help you. We have a few folks here who're up to speed on their ancient coins, and one fella from Greece, so...

Oh, by the way, let me be the first to say:

Welcome to the Forum, Denty! I’m afraid I’m not much on ancient Greek coinage, but it’s possible that your coin is from Crete. Bees seem to have been a popular device there.

Thanks for that!

Thanks for the welcome, I'll do some research on Crete.

Thanks for the welcome, photography is not my best subject but I will try to post a picture. I have had this coin for over a year and as yet I have found nothing about it, not even a date. My collection is mainly British coins from 1600 onwards.

Welcome to the forum!

What types of British coins do you have? There are a bunch of Brit collectors here.
