If anyone can give me a clue on this coin pictured, I would appreciate it. It is in poor condition but I suspect it may be very old. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

If you can post a pic of the other side, we can help narrow down what you have. At that point, I might move your thread over to the ancients subforum so that we can get some expert opinions.

On Numista I filtered "K" under Byzantine coins and there are several that are very similar. Coinoscope came up with nil. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...at=y&ct=coin Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 07/10/2020 1:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Britguyaz New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 07/10/2020 2:59 pm Wow you guys are good, Byzantine it is. looks to be from the 500s. Here are a couple of picture of the other side but not sure they will help much as it is in very poor condition. I have always been advised never to clean a coin in case I damage it, but I wonder what may be visible if cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
