Just a coin which I dont think I ever posted which I got in the last year. Any ideas what the stamp shows? Its someone with a spear, the host coin isn't legible.

Neat stamp. It still might be possible to find out what the host coin is. It looks like it might be the size of a Roman Dup. Neat coin I wish I knew more.

Its a greek host coin - more coppery in hand. Its also quite a bit smaller than a dupondius - the counterstamp is about 7mm across, the coin about 15mm.

Well...actually, it could be roman. there are a few surviving letters on one side. Probably only identifiable by an expert in hand. Ill put it into the 'BM' pile.
