Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 11/01/2019 9:42 pm This bronze coin is 17mm and 3.1 grams. The front has a bust and text that is difficult to read. It could read AVG. The reverse has what looks like a helmet. This text is also difficult to read. I think it might be ΩNIPPOCICTDN or something like that. There is more text that is too worn to make out. Any thoughts?
