Noticed that this coin has a couple of blobs in on its face. I'm assuming this is a die chip but I have very little experience with error coins! Feel free to share your thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
I've done some searching here but I can't find an exact ID for this coin. I don't know where it came from nor do I even know if it's genuine or not. Assuming it is, I've only managed to figure out that the reverse legend is GENIO IMPERATORIS. I'm not really able to figure out anything else I'm guessing because I'm not very familiar with these coins or markings.
Is this coin genuine? If so, do you know who is pictured and what the obverse legend is? Also, the green patina - is it bad?
Hello all, my name is Maccath and I am based in the UK.
I have a bunch of coins that formed part of my husband's childhood collection, my own collection from travels, and some old coins that belonged to my grandparents.
I don't think I have anything of any particular value, but there are a few strange items in my possession.
Many of the coins have been stored for years in random jars and PVC sleeves and are scratched and corroded. I've started trying to catalogue them and store them properly, mainly for sentimental reasons. They remind me of my travels and I enjoy looking at the designs.
I decided to join this forum because I need some advice on how to care for these coins and also some ID help. So I look forward to meeting you all and learning more during my time here!
