Coin appears to be bronze, diameter about 3/4", weight about .2 of an ounce. Front has a typical profile facing right. The obverse has a standing eagle or falcon with the letters L E . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not 100% sure but the emperor looks like it could be Trajan. The LE on the reverse is the date, year five so that would make it circa 103 AD. Report this Post to the Staff

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
