I've had it for many years and can't recall where I got it. Approx Kennedy sized. I don't seem to find this reverse design. Looks like a seated figure with a tilted spear and holding a wreath,from what I can tell. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe this coin is from Nikopolis-pros-Istron (in modern-day Bulgaria). I can't ID the emperor. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
