jgriffioen New Member Netherlands 2 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 11:50 am Dear People, I'm having trouble finding this coin. I would like to know where it's from and from which period of time it's from, and if possible, the link in uCoin of the coin. Here are some extra clues: 1. The coin is about 20-21 mm in width. 2. There are 3 bows visible on one side of the coin; one of them appears to have a circle on the end, almost as if it is some kind of sword... 3. On top of the 3 circles, there appears to be some kind of lines that should be forming something, like the vase-like signature on ancient Turkish coins. 4. It isn't very visible, but there appears to be a face on the other side, but I am not sure if that is my imagination or not. Every single clue could really help me. Thanks a lot, Joël Griffioen (from the Netherlands) Report this Post to the Staff

jgriffioen New Member Netherlands 2 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 12:43 pm Dear Spence, Thanks alot for your help. I don't have the equipment at home to measure the weight of the coin. I know someone who does, but it will take a couple of days before I will know it... Is there any information that I do have that might help identificate this coin? Joël Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 8:43 pm @jgr, knowing the weight would be a great first step, but I understand that will take some time. After getting that information, determining the specific gravity could be useful.
