TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 10:16 am Can anyone tell me what denomination, what year?, in particular what mint? and rough estimate on value? I've got a Westminster certificate with it but it doesn't detail any particular information on the coin. Diameter 19mm. Weight 2.5 grams. Many thanks in advance! :) Edited by TobyJ 07/17/2016 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7067 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 10:55 am It's a follis. Could be an SMNA mintmark(?)...Nicomedia (RIC VII 44)?...but I fear casting here based on the softness and graininess of the reverse. Hopefully my fears are unfounded. Curious to hear from others.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3495 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 12:48 pm I doubt it is a casting. It is very difficult to cast a very thin flan such as this and hardly worth the effort. More likely seriously corroded and harshly cleaned. Radiate bust, common type IOVI CONSERVATORI (Zeus Saves !) Mint mark SMN (Nicomedia) officina A. based on size and weight a later issue (reduced) from around AD 320 Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 1:59 pm I agree with FR, not a casting but a corroded and perhaps harshly cleaned coin. Worth a few dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
