I have not been able to identify the coin or find anything like it one line. Imgur link as follows: http://imgur.com/a/n85RK Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 1:14 pm Looks like wire money to me, although 3 g is a pretty big piece for that type. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 9:01 pm Looks quite modern - possible replica / fantasy in my opinion. I'm not well versed in this type of coinage.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 07:07 am It is, or at least it's supposed to be, a coin of Ivan Ivanovich of Tver (1485-1490). A weight of 3.1 grams sounds ridiculously huge though (as far as I can tell, it should be close to 1.5). And it looks far too well preserved as well. So gxseries is probably correct that it's a modern fake/replica. More expert opinion might be needed Report this Post to the Staff
