deutschknabe New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 5:13 pm I'm new to the forum, and have some early American money, however, I am currently very interested in this ancient? coin I received from my late father, he showed it to us children several times over the years, and we think he got it from his father. It is about the size of a quarter, and about the thickness of two quarters. I know nothing about ancient coins and am very interested in learning more about it. Any help or clues are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 6:10 pm Welcome. The coin is Roman Provincial. Possibly from Neapolis, Samaria. Maybe Elagabalus. The reverse shows Tyche under the arch of a tetrastyle temple. Edited by Kamnaskires 08/23/2021 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
