Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 11/27/2019 6:06 pm John, any chance of you posting larger pics? The seemingly perfectly round planchet has my spidey sense is tingling that this might be a product of the SCA or similar token-making group. Also, can you please check the alloy--is it silver, and if so is it .925?

Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 11/29/2019 6:37 pm If I had to guess, my guess would be one of those Society for Creative Anachronism coins, or a similar such piece struck at a renaissance fair in demonstration of mediaeval coin-making techniques. The reverse (bottom pic) appears to be a homage to the EID MAR denarius of Brutus?
