pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 1:42 pm Maybe a Roman coin, but with my limited knowledge I was not able to identify the reverse. In my humble opinion coin is in so bad shape that mustn´t have any value, but would like your opinion about it too. Report this Post to the Staff

pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 5:28 pm Thanks gtkwml. I made a extensive search at Wildwinds too and unfortunately didn´t come up with an answer. As I already wrote \i´m puzzled with this reverse which I didn´t find in any another coin. And the lettering too is not well visible which confuses me a lot. Now I´m giving up, ´cause I´m trying to find an answer since three days ago. I have vision problems and my eyes are very tired of searching for it. Report this Post to the Staff
pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 08:35 am I posted the coin on another forum and an expert point me to: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ro...Default.aspx Elagabalus - Laodiceia But I´m still puzzled by some type of lettering below the bust. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
