Shot in the dark - LRB? - no photo
« on: June 21, 2011, 03:26:35 pm »
Don't have any kind of camera with me.  Strange coin.

Approximately 14mm.

It's thick 2 to 3 mm.

Edges are broken so it has a squarish apprearance.

The obverse looks like a Constantinia era protrait.  Head facing right, laureate with hanging ties.  Looks barbarous though.

The reverse looks like crossed cornucopias.

On the lower area of the right cornucopia, there is either a Y or a leg, which makes the blob not a cornucopia, but something else entirely.

Does this sound even vaguely familiar to anyone?
