Panoply76 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:48 pm My friend and I found a coin when dredging the river Thames. One side has the inscription 'PRIMA COHORS BRITTANI? LONDONII' the reverse has a horseman and th letters IOX. What era may this coin come from and what might it be worth? Any help is appreciated. It seems to be silver. Report this Post to the Staff

But we'd definitely need to see pics, and preferably some measurements - size and weight - to have a better idea of exactly what it is. 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
Raest New Member Czech Republic 1 Posts	Posted 12/26/2015 6:01 pm I just found this topic and have to laugh. I think that author of this topic was just reading a book 'The Physician' by Noah Gordon and was only trying to find out, if this coin really existed. Here is a passage from the book: "When Rob moistened ashes from the fire and rubbed and rubbed, on one side of the blackened disk appeared the words Prima Cohors Britanniae Londonii. His church Latin proved barely equal. "Perhaps it marks the first cohort to be in London," he said. On the other side was a Roman on horseback, and three letters, IOX. "What does IOX mean?" his father asked. He didn't know." Report this Post to the Staff
