Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 08:02 am This coin has been in my unidentified box for some time. It is possibly Indian, but I haven't been able to find anything that resembles it in searches. Can anyone tell me what it is? It appears to be bronze, 14 mm in diameter, and 1.0 gr in weight. Thickness is 1.1 mm. Thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 09:47 am Thank you so much Bob, it's no wonder that I couldn't find it. It never crossed my mind to search Turkish coins. Yes indeed, the Adrana coin (110) does indeed look very familiar. Many thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 11:06 am To wrap the topic back around to antiquity, Ottoman Adrana is the ancient Hadrianopolis/ Adrianople where Constantine defeated Licinius in 323 and where Valens was killed by the Goths in 378. The city is known today as Edirne. Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 11:50 am Thank you @Kushanshah. The flow of information in this community never ceases to amaze me. This information adds another dimension to the coin. The relationship between the region and the defeat of Licinius, and the killing of Valens, would not have been apparent to me. Thanks again, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
