aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 07/19/2011 12:41 pm OK, there is not much to go on for this one, so I wouldn't be surprised if no responses are received. I'll give it a shot... Here's what I know: Min/Max Diameter: 25-27mm Weight: 7.2g Material: Probably Brass, shines like gold (but I wouldn't be so lucky). Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 07/19/2011 6:43 pm It kind of reminds me of NASA footage of asteroids. Still, it's a coin, it's large, and it's brass, with the only visible features a standing figure on the reverse, with text around. My best guess: Roman Provincial, Viminacium - they issued a brief but prolific series of coins with this design. 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
aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 12:51 am That's a good guess, sap - I'm still working on this beast. I may be tearing the thing apart in the process, but at this point, it's more an exercise of curiosity. My thinking is that it may be a Nero/Agrippina double head - hopefully the next pics will show that. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
