Too many to choose from and then I remembered your other coin.

Ok, probably not the coin you have Oz, but here goes

I guess ancient China 1 cash (14-23)AD Wang Mang, fifth reform, N#7318
(too many varieties on that coin)

If not that one, I see several more likely candidates that I will leave others to guess...

China (ancient),
Standard circulation coin,
Gregorian date: 1-40AD,
Non precious...

Something like that...

I know, I'm assuming a few things and taking some risk here...

Also you said coin was issued 1AD on, but JC was born in 6BC - 4BC.

Well, I'm certainly surprised at guessing close enough

Neat rock of a Chinese coin Oz, was just looking at all the clues this round and wondered if it was Asian... Hence my guess

Keith's "last question" was interesting probably since many of these questions took too long to get solutions going, then one more could have been asked...

Well done Mrit.
Nice old coin Oz. Now you can get back to working out what that other one is.

I need a Chinese coin expert for that. Searched all over the internet and couldn't find any reference to that exact coin type.
