Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 1:43 pm I found this some time ago in a Coin Star tray and put it aside. Then someone posted this photo on another forum asking what it was, so I thought that I would ask here. Weight = 1.03 g. It is dime size. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Pete2226 01/11/2016 1:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 2:13 pm I do have a very small collection of Communion Tokens and none of them are so small, so that idea did not occur to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 2:30 pm Does anyone have the ability to translate the inscription? The letters look to me as if they are more likely Greek rather than Hebrew. The right side of the coin may be the Greek abbreviation for king. The English transliteration would be Basileus.
