Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 9:20 pm @peta, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please post a weight of this piece? Also, in two of your pics, the coin looks to be bronze or gold, while in the other it looks silver. Which is closest to the real color? Thx.

Petarmne New Member Montenegro 2 Posts	Posted 01/30/2024 05:29 am Thank you all for the welcome! I don't have a precise scale but it is probably between 2 and 3 grams. Made of copper or bronze and it came in a lot of Ottoman coins. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 01/31/2024 08:16 am Possibly a follis from 11-12th century Sicily? This was a period of transition from older Byzantine currency system to a more European system, and they had some coppers with cufic script. I will see what I can find. Edit: I was thinking of a coin like this, but it is too small, so not a match. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7587568 Edited by tdziemia 01/31/2024 08:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
