Looks Byzantine But ?
« on: September 22, 2014, 09:55:10 am »
Hello All

This one has me stumped, can anyone push me in a general direction i was given this as a present.  The obverse looks almost Byzantine as you can see, the obverse has remnants of an R but that is about all i can see.  Thanks in advance for any possible ID directions.

Weight 2.51

Size 21mm - 25mm aT ITS WIDEST

Thanks

What is the metal?  It looks like lead.

Hi, that is a good question, but not lead, i wouldguess at copper, somebody has suggested the coin may be Roger Borsa, any other takers or suggestions

Thanks
