It's 20mm across and about 1mm thick (or thin I should say...). * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 5:54 pm Well, to begin with the obverse is Dionysos, in the tradition of ancient coins of Thrace and other regions. The near perfect roundness is concerning (with regard to authenticity). Can you provide a better (larger) pic of the obverse, and perhaps some shots of the edge? Recommend kicking this over to the ancients/medieval board. Edited by Kamnaskires 06/29/2018 5:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 8:47 pm Hmm, based on the blank reverse and round shape, I'm wondering if this was even meant to be a coin--perhaps it was originally a brooch or part of a button?
