ChrisHagen New Member Denmark 29 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 08:54 am Hi The coin weighs 1.455 grams, and has dimensions of 11.5 x 12.5 millimeters. It was bought in a batch of "uncleaned coins from the Holy Land". Any info would be helpful. Link to imgur album. Edited by ChrisHagen 06/26/2013 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ChrisHagen New Member Denmark 29 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 6:57 pm Hi, I fixed the images, sorry! I messed up, but it should be all good now. I really hope somebody can make some sense of this. I have been trying to quite some time. Doesn't this look like it? Edited by ChrisHagen 06/26/2013 7:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It certainly isn't a coin from the Holy Land. 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.

ChrisHagen New Member Denmark 29 Posts	Posted 06/27/2013 05:44 am I agree Sap. I can imagine a Kushan, Indo-Greek or Bactrian coin being lost in that area though, perhaps through trade. I have people on another forum telling me it's a horse, not a bull, suggesting this coin: Report this Post to the Staff
