It's been pressed or hammered. Can you please identify it? Many thanks in advance :-) Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 04/18/2025 10:17 am I do not know for sure what it is, but my assumption would be a fantasy replica of an ancient coin, made for jewellery purposes. The thing in the centre is a crude caricature-like portrait not really resembling any specific portrait on Greek or Roman coins. The legend reads something like HOKE XOLDAIUIOXO. Which is nonsensical gibberish in English, Latin or Greek, though perhaps it's closer to Greek than anything else. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
