Joshua Soper New Member New Zealand 3 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 08:17 am I don't know if this helps but the head part of the coin is raised in comparison to the edge of the coin Report this Post to the Staff

My Greek is not too good and it is nearly impossible to make out any lettering. My guess would be Aurelian or Probus. The reverse is a very nice type not usually seen. Legionary standards with imperial eagle in between. This is why I am guessing these two rulers. Both were famous warrior emperors who fought more than their fair share of battles. Great coin Report this Post to the Staff
