robbyrus New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 1:36 pm Hoping to identify this. A friend of mine travels from NC to Jordan once a year and found this in a cave, along with some Roman jewelry on one of his "treasure hunting" trips. Any info on the specifics? I have checked several forums, Google Image, and FB groups with no exact luck. Finn235 seems to have similar coins.....Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin and to not duplicate posts, so I've deleted your post on that old thread.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 12:38 pm Definitely imitative - the crude bust and reverse legend of "IVIIII..." or something along those lines is typical for barbarous imitations. Likely copying small LRB's of Theodosius, Arcadius, Honorius, et al.
