CNorman New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 9:05 pm I found this coin a number of years ago and stuck it away. I have just taken the time to photograph it and see if I can get it identified. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The images look old world but I found it in the U.S. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Second, this little guy looks ancient Roman to me so I'm going to recommend to the mods to move it to that part of the forum. You will get better help there!

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 9:32 pm to the community I believe it is a Late Roman Bronze (LRB) of the emperor Valens. Report this Post to the Staff

Star over letter (A?) reverse right...perhaps like: http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=51310 or http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=55518 Edited by Kamnaskires 01/02/2017 10:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CNorman New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 10:42 pm I have found several Valen coins on sales sites that are very similar to the one I have. You guys are good, no great. I did not expect results this quickly. Report this Post to the Staff
