Thanks! Material: Bronze/Copper Size: 12mm Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 09:21 am I've found similar iconography (cross with six-pointed stars in the quadrants) on some mediaeval Serbian obols, but no exact match, and those are silver as well. The top pic has an inscription around the central star, something like +IWTSCVBD. 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
mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 2:43 pm Definitely not Serbian. If it is then its non registered type :-). It looks like it's been silver plated copper coin, I might be wrong, so it can be contemporary counterfeit. My guess will also be crusader states.
