Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 9:23 pm Here is what I know: Diameter is only 9 mm and mass is 0.7 g Material is copper or bronze One side has a wreath that forms a small "O" at the bottom with a Roman? Templar? cross in the middle. The other side is pretty unintelligible to me. Maybe a portrait, but that is only when I half-squint my eyes. Any thoughts? I know that there isn't too much to go on and my pics are not very clear.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 10:08 pm Ok yes interesting. I see a picture of a Hilderic Nummus (ref. Wroth 9) over on the Ancient Imports site that has the same cross ("cross potent"), surrounded by a wreath forming a small "o" and then surrounded by a circular border. Interestingly, the obverse of that coin is just about completely gone too.
