livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 09:58 am I have no clue how much the brooch is worth. You may already know the coin is a common late Roman bronze, can't tell which emperor but likely one of Constantine's sons. The reverse shows two soldiers and a Chi-Rho standard, symbol of Christ. By itself the worn coin isn't worth much. Edited by livingwater 08/26/2022 10:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
Gainn Valued Member United Kingdom 218 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 11:57 am It's an interesting looking piece, and there are definitely collectors that will buy something like it. The price seems very high unless there's some really compelling provenance. Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 3:23 pm Not even sure if the coin is real? Although I'd be very surprised if someone went to the trouble of faking such a common ruler....Interesting piece though. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 4:16 pm I agree it's interesting, but it cannot be worth Euro 195... unless the bezel rim is gold, but I have no way of testing . . . I can't exactly acid test it ... curious piece; I suspect mid-19th century, Victorian. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 7:25 pm Probably real, but very common, 4th century Roman coin. Looks like it might have been clipped (and/or filed down) to fit into the brooch, which would have further destroyed its already minuscule value as a coin. I'm not into brooches so I have no idea how much it's worth as a brooch. Probably nowhere near 195 euros. Report this Post to the Staff
