This might seem like a hopeless task, but I want a coin type identified.
There are however some "slight" difficulties involved in this:
1. The coin can be from anywhere in the world.
Most likely from Europe though.
2. It can be from any dato up to the mid 1800's, but its probably
older than 1800.
3. I dont have the coin...
The only clue I have is a rewriting of parts of the inscriptions of
the coin. This is written down around the middle of the nineteenth century.
The coin is made of silver or at least someting silver like.
It is very worn down, hence the assumption its from at least before 1800.
It bears the inscription "ROTO II" aroung a ring, and the inscription
"P Ψ Ψ E". I dont know if the last inscription is on the same side as the first, and I dont know if the rest of the original inscription has worn off or if this is all it had.
The pictures shows the inscriptions as reproduced on the paper I found it. The two scribled lines beneath "P Ψ Ψ E" might be part of the coins motif, but is most likely there too separate it from later text on same paper.
This is absolutely all the information I have.
If anyone could give a clue to what this is I would me mighty impressed!
