EM55062 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 4:20 pm Hello! This is the last coin I'm having trouble ID-ing. It's so small and worn that I'm not sure what's possible, but its worth a shot. Any hints as to the era, empire, design, historical context, etc would all be much appreciated. Weight: 0.9 grams Diameter: 9mm Thickness: 2mm Report this Post to the Staff

EM55062 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 9:44 pm That's interesting, I haven't considered that it isn't necessarily a coin. Is there any way I could test if it is lead without damaging it too much? Report this Post to the Staff
EM55062 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 9:53 pm It sort of resembles the bottom left coin here. A nummus I believe? I'm unfamiliar in this area of numismatics so if anyone can confirm/deny or give a more exact attribution I'd be very grateful Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 11:48 pm Turn the bottom pic 90 degrees counterclockwise and it looks like an O attached to the top of an N, so most likely Leo Or perhaps Zeno (there are variants with the O on the left) Report this Post to the Staff
EM55062 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/28/2020 4:13 pm Thanks Finn! I looked up some monograms in cat bikes and it matches Zeno (there's a faint z above the N after some cleaning). Report this Post to the Staff
