Gavv New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 5:36 pm I was given this coin but I am having trouble identifying it. It's pictured next to a uk £2 coin. Can anyone help? Edited by Gavv 01/25/2021 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I'm going to move your thread over to our ancients subforum to get some eyeballs on it, although I have my doubts of it being a Roman coin. In the meanwhile, can you please post the weight of this piece? Thx.

I'm not sufficiently familiar with the series in question to identify it any further. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 7:17 pm to the community Your coin purports to be a Roman Republic bronze, we will need a size in mm and a weight in grams to give us and idea which type it might be and help to determine if genuine or not.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 8:07 pm @j1m, I was thinking that the Aes Grave with the prow on one side had Janus on the other, but I certainly could be wrong.
