Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 12:51 am Hello and welcome. We will need better pics, of both sides, to be certain, but we can narrow it down a little for you. The word is "NERWNOS" in Greek - the name of the emperor Nero. It is therefore a Roman Provincial coin, possibly from Judaea (ancient Israel). Wildwinds example. Or a copy of one, anyway; "biblical coins" like this are often copied. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Just lower the width of the image to get the file size under 300kb.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 8:14 pm Very interesting find and welcome to CCF @ML. I don't know the coins of Judea well enough to give an opinion on real vs. fake. Better pics would definitely help, but here is a slightly enhanced view of one of your coins: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
