Zipzim New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/13/2018 4:55 pm I acquired this coin the other day and I am unable to figure out what it is. The weight of the coin is 4.7g and the diameter ranges from 21 to 22mm depending on where the measurement is taken. I would love to know what exactly it is.

I'm leaning towards RESTITVTOR REIP (Restorer of the Republic),like this: Or perhaps SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, though they tend to be smaller,like this: . Report this Post to the Staff
