canary01 Valued Member Netherlands 204 Posts	Posted 07/18/2026 08:03 am Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me ID this coin. It appears as a roman double head janus coin but I can't find one with this matching reverse. Reverse appears to be some sort of bird with letters ROMA above. Thanks in advance!

The prow faces left on your coin. I've never seen one with bird. You could look on acsearch.info, see if you can find a match. Edited by livingwater 07/18/2026 08:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 701 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:08 pm A very odd one for me. The reverse has a ship's prow oriented towards right. But it is too far left for the usual coins of this type. Perhaps the three prows one of Vibius and Pansa, with only one prow remaining visible? search Crawford 342/7 Light for an as but it looks like it has lost metal.
