vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 08:06 am Hello All, Ive got this very small coin in my collection. Probably an nummus with christogram? One side you see NIA? and an head (not clear on the pictures) The other side some figure (probably christogram?) Does anyone happens to know this piece? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 2:51 pm That doesn't look like a Chi-Rho to me and there really isn't much detail to go by. Perhaps if you clean it up a bit it might help. Hopefully some one else might be able to tell. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 3:43 pm I agree--most likely not a chi-rho AE4. How thick is it? I get the feeling this is a lot older than 5th century. Later Roman coins are not necessarily thin, but this coin looks to be pretty thick. Report this Post to the Staff
