« on: March 23, 2015, 10:29:37 am »
Knowing much about roman coins, but very little on others, I 'm looking for a classification of this coin. brass diam.max 25 weight 10,15. Persian , indian ? As you can see one side is completely illegible. If anyone can help me.. thankyou all.

It does not look ancient--one side seems to try to imitate a Corinthian coin, but the style is not even remotely like a real ancient coin of Corinth.  Perhaps some sort of Indian jewelry piece?
