gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 10:04 pm There is very little left of this corroded coin. It came in a batch of late Roman coins purchased from a metal detectorist in the Balkans. It appears that it never had lettering of any kind. The reverse has a slim wreath, with what might be floral designs inside? The obverse, again with no lettering, seems to look something like a Russian or Austrian imperial eagle. Wherever it came from, it must have been in the ground a long time. Anyone have any thoughts? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
