The nicer coins included a Galba and a Sassanian drachm, so I could have cared less about the culls. I did save the couple that caught my eye, including this one that I hoped would magically become one of those Vandal coins with a wreath. Saw it in a different light today, and it clicked: Messembria, Thrace Either an AE12 or the core of a fourree Helmet facing / Wheel with M-E-T-A in quadrants, spokes radiating outward Not the prettiest thing, but at least now I know!
