(damaged) Help with identification! Bad shape! :(
« on: September 24, 2020, 11:10:36 am »
Width 21 mm
Weight 2.76 g

This one looks pretty badly damaged, only part of the coin is visible, but a somewhat clear head!

Unknown metal, looks a bit too dull for silver! (Purely speculation though!)


Help needed!  :angel:

That is a nice little find.  It appears more silvery as the metal (billon) does have a bit more silver compared to most 4th century types.
