mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 04/06/2026 08:33 am Got this coin thats pretty puzzling for me... Looks like a head on one side and cross or crosses on the other side Coin was sold to me as bronze... but now that I got it in my hand it gives out a lead vibe... I might be wrong tho, but that would mean its a seal not a coin... Any info will be appreciated, thanks :) My collection on Numista page: 7500 different coins and counting... https://en.numista.com/echanges/pro...hp?id=129798 Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 04/06/2026 08:59 am This is an interesting piece. As you look around the edge, is there an obvious defect anywhere? I was thinking that seals would have this region for the cord or whatever was used to seal the package.

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 04/06/2026 09:09 am @Spence I looked and didnt notice anything like that, edge is pretty unevenly smooth or smoothed up... at the top right above the head there is a small nick but to me it looks more like a damage made after when coin was hit by or into something... Also I notice that coin is thinner on one side and thicker on other side, pretty uneven thickness might indicate casting...

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 04/06/2026 2:35 pm @Victor Yes thats the one, And looks like those roman tokens fit unless its a fake... Is there any online catalogue of Roman Tesserae tokens ?
