If someone can establish its identity, I'd like to taught what to look for. TIA, Edited by Versipelis 08/27/2012 10:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 10:04 am The Greek legend reads Maximianos Seb(astos)but the first three and last 3 letters are a might rough. When asking ID help, always show both sides of he coin. In this case there should be a date numeral with an L that means 'year'. In some cases the number of years shown will limit the possible readings (all rulers might have a year 1 but fewer have a ten). Report this Post to the Staff
