Help to ID this strange coin please
« on: March 27, 2017, 06:00:29 pm »
Hi everyone, hope all are well. I have another batch of coins I've taken out of the olive oil and cleaned up fairly nice. This one has me baffled. It almost looks like an indian on the face??? Help please.

I'm afraid my old eyes aren't that good. Even under the magnifier. I can't read anything on it but it does look a lot like the one you've posted for sure. Thanks!
