Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 12:14 pm I recently picked this coin up as part of a small lot ( a few others I'm also posting on here). In so far as I have been able to find out, it is Greek minted under Roman authority. Its about the size and thickness of a sestertius, prehaps a little wider than average. Any info on type/date/ value or any other info much appreciated. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff

The emperor is Maximinus I. 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.
