Sap Moderator Australia 16340 Posts	Posted 06/09/2025 10:46 pm Your coin is a small bronze from Nabataea (ancient Petra, in what is now Jordan). The bottom picture is a portrait (your pic is upside-down), and the reverse is two crossed cornucopias. The reverse, at least, has been double-struck, leading to some confusing design elements. So you're looking for something like this one. 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.

Thx. Added: ah well looks like @sap figured it out as I was typing. Well done!
