I picked up another bundle at the weekend and it has several unknown types in it that I simply have no clue about. No legend or bust to help with attribution, just 2 sides with a design on them  Cross on 1 side & grid pattern on the other. Weight - 0.44g Size - 9mm     I have not come across anything like it, hopefully someone will recognise it. TIA. |

They remind me of 17th C lead alloy tokens,I could be wrong though.

Hi Gooner All 4 pics are of 1 coin Gooner, 2 each side. I have found a " similar " type that is 11th century Italian with a cross on 1 side but that's it so far. Its made of a strong material so the lead alloy wouldn't work, pretty sure its bronze. LOL AM  I said I had some odd ones for you  I have some Nabatean or Judean coins in the bundle aswell, how are you on those ? Edited by tenbobbit

I'm like you AM, LRB's are what I have focused on as a starting point for collecting. Trying to complete the Constantine era at the moment but I do enjoy these random coins aswell. Here's a very nice barbarous Magnentius, I will take a few better pics and post them 2moro for you.   Daylight pics will show it much better. |

When you are done with LRB's you can move on to Siliqua. That is a very nice Magnentius coin. Congrats!   Edited by Augustus Maximus
