Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 12:20 pm It's a common coin with the Gloria Exercitus reverse design. Two soldiers with two standards. On the reverse of the coin, at the bottom exergue, there is the mintmark which says it was minted in Siscia. Difficult to attribute to catalog because of the lack of detail. As echizento said, it could use a soak for a few weeks or more. Use a toothpick to pick at the coin if needed. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 2:35 pm I don't think ant abrasive cleaning is needed, not even a toothpick is needed. Not always needed, but for this I think a wax such as RenWax would do the job of bringing out all the details, allowing us to see the legends. The surface looks weak, hence the caution.
