Ancient foreign coins were popular items collected by Victorian and later collectors. This museum holds a small collection of Greek and Roman coins donated by local residents. A hole has been pierced through this ancient Greek coin so it could be worn as an amulet.
This is most probably a coin of the Arcadian League, with the image of the seated Zeus Lykaios and a local deity or nymph in incuse square. The nominal is a silver hemidrachm and the chronology is around mid of 5th century BC.
