I was just thinking and wondering if I was holding something which someone had in their hands so many years ago haha. Guess I will never know. I just thought the pattern might of related to something or someone may of knew it. Maybe someone might know fingers crossed. If not it will get thrown in the drawer for someone else to find and ask the question again somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff

It has the look of an "Ancient" coin - You should have put this in the "Ancient, Greek, Roman, and Medieval Coins Topics" forum. may have gotten alot more looks. Maybe ask a Mod to switch this over to there.... Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 5:40 pm I might be wrong, but I suspect it's an old (antique) repro or fantasy. The near perfect roundness, the evidence of a casting sprue, and possible remnants of plating, lead me to this conclusion. I'll add to the list the fact that the iconography is so small in relation to the flan. You don't often see such a roomy "canvas" for imagery on most ancients. Perhaps it's Grand Tour-era?
