I too want to identify this item/coin., I am curious to understand the history. (if anyone should know).? The coin is very unique, however, there is one others which has been found (as evidence of this forum), and therefore, I am interested to learn as much as we can about it if possible? This item was found in 1950-51 in Alexandria Egypt during the renovation of a home (it was un earthed as a result of the construction work). The weight is approx. 18 grams. Gold Thanks for any feedback from anyone who might have insights. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, as best practice is to avoid reanimating old threads, I have split your post off from that earlier thread. You are right though that the similarities between your piece and the previous one are striking, so folks may want to go back and review that conversation here: http://goccf.com/t/453449 I think that we had netted out that it wasn't a coin, but hadn't really figured out what it was.

As I stated in the earlier thread, the stars around the scorpion indicate the intent to mean the constellation Scorpio, rather than an actual scorpion. 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
