aquilacavallo Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 10/21/2024 8:24 pm Hello all, I got this tiny copper coin in a batch of uncleaned (mostly Roman) bronze coins (shipped from Spain). While there's not much to it (13mm, 1.35g), I think there might be enough design to identify. But I can't find a match online or in my books. Can anyone help? One side clearly has two stars and what looks like an Arabic letter, maybe. The other side has a circle and some dots. Thanks!

I found that this coin is actually listed in Numista: https://en.numista.com/270704 And in Zeno: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=161648 Interestingly, the Zeno user acquired their coin the exact same way I got mine: in a bulk lot of mostly late Roman bronzes.
