Hello everyone I got this tiny coin: 12 mm 1.77 gr And I believe it to be Roman but could not find any information about. Does someone know something about it? Thanks  |

@mais, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm quite sure that this coin is ancient so I'm going to move your thread over to that subforum. Also, the writing looks more Indian than Roman to me, but I'm admittedly not an expert. With that said, this Kushan Tet has a pretty similar design even if the flan size is off: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces56877.html"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thx for the confirmation @kushanshah! It's nice for me to get close to an attribution on one of these--doesn't happen too often. Ancient Indian numismatics seems like an ocean and I've still got on my water wings just trying to stay afloat.

You guys really know the business.
After a couple of hours looking for this one on Provincial Roman Coins catalog I was about to give up...
Thank you all for the help.

You've come to the best forum that I've found. There have been a few times where I questioned my decision to take up this hobby. However, the people on this forum have helped and guided me along the way. |
