Nymeria New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/05/2015 7:01 pm I have a friend who found this coin, and he's having trouble with identifying anything about it. Where it's from, the language it's in, what is was used for, etc. This is what he's said about the coin: "I've come across this single sided coin/medallion roughly the size of a silver dollar. The reverse has nothing stamped... But there is something scratched in." Edited by Nymeria 09/05/2015 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Can't speak to Irish writing but the photo needs to be clearer to make out all the characters. It could very well be a fantasy piece from one of the fantasy countries and mints.

The one at upper left reads pi-nine-tau-five-upsilon. Report this Post to the Staff

Do you think this could have any significance or could it simply be a coin used for a magic type game? I'm having trouble matching the other letters and numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
