Hi All

I was given a load of coins from a friends fathers estate as my friend knew I collected. Amongst the standard Milled coinage was this one. It is about the size of an English Shilling and quite thick. I think it could be silver. It is a lot nicer in the hand. Not the best photo!!

Thanks

It dose appear to be Antoninus Pius and it's a tetradrachn from the Alexandria mint. The metal is Potin a very low grade silver also know as billon.

Could you perhaps post pictures of the coin not taken at an angle but straight on? I can't make out the legend at all, and I think the angling might have something to do with it.

Thanks. Obviously that one is a better grade than mine. Any idea what mine maybe worth. Just curious.
