Maybe someone with more expertise could help me with this? The design looks very similar to those of ancient roman coins. I have identified some before, without too much difficulty. However, for this coin, some of the letters seems to be in Greek. I have searched the Numsita and Ocre http://numismatics.org/ocre/) catalogs without any luck. The coin has around 24 mm on its longer side and a weight of 7.22 g. The material seems to be bronze, but I cannot be certain without further tests. From what I can see, on my coin the following symbols are present (with * representing letters that I cannot clearly identify): Obverse: Y*#581;N ΓOP*** Reverse: OKO RNEN or OKO KNEN Or something close to that... Any help with identification and dating would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Cristian Report this Post to the Staff
