MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1565 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 10:32 am The pictures are all I have at the moment, not got coin in hand but would like to know if someone can give me more details about it. When I first saw it I thought Roman republic, but after looking at the pics a bit more I am not so sure. The coin measure about 15 mm, don't have the weight as of yet. Any thoughts welcome & thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 11:03 am Yes, Roman Republican. Definitely jugate, serrate (barely visible on the edge - quite worn), with a reverse caduceus at left of two figures clasping hands. This would be my search at acsearch.info: https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...usd&company= If the link doesn't work, the terms are: republic jugate denarius clasping caduceus Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3441 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 6:56 pm Odd though All the examples are serrate and measure 18-20mm I can see regular marks on the edge of the coin As if it had been filed back to round ? Down to 15mm ? That did strike me as a bit small Perhaps someone had set it long ago into a ring or necklace People did stupid things 100 years ago when these could be bought for little money Report this Post to the Staff

There is also a possibility that it is a cast counterfeit. Clay molds can result in shrinkage. Edited by Kushanshah 02/10/2020 8:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
