JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 11:35 am An impossible ask perhaps but where would you start with this coin ? Weight 13g. Diameter 29/30mm. Thick, approx 3mm. At the top on one side is a small circle (wreath?) with a 1 in it. Below is a seven(?) letter word ?OCCO perhaps Does not look like Morocco. Under this is a date 1810 ? On the lower rim a letter A. Other side has what look like a small case I, stroke with a dot above. Eight (?) letter word above around rim, five letter word below. Dark copper metal and worn/smudged. Have a guess because I have no idea ! Many Thanks Brian Report this Post to the Staff

The word is BAIOCCO - an Italian coin denomination. So this is an Italian coin. I entered "baiocco" into Numista and your coin came out as literally the first result: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces50803.html So, a 1 baiocco (1/100 scudo) coin, apparently issued for the municipality of Ancona, during the Roman Republic of 1849. Quite an intriguing coin! Report this Post to the Staff
