I legitimately have no idea what the triangular heck this is. 16x15 mm, 2.59 grams. Alas, the side on the second pic is half gone (planchet flaw?) and off-center, and while the other side isn't as much off-center, the part opposite the half-gone area is bulged up (dunno why) and barely readable. If it becomes important, I might try to make a photo that brings out the bulged-up area better. But I don't think there's much to see on it one way or another. Report this Post to the Staff

Because I don't think my coin looks that much like the one Zeno example, but I might just be looking in the wrong places. Report this Post to the Staff

There are some differences in decorative pellets, etc and the last line on reverse isn't legible. Tye 284 is probably closer to your coin.
