I need identification help for copper coin
« on: March 23, 2019, 03:32:27 pm »
Hi there. I'm from Turkey. This coin was found in Defne, Antakya, Turkey. (Ancient name is Daphne, Antioch on the Orontes).
I don't have experience with coins, and also this coin not have any type of writing character. when I try to search with "two soldiers" I see lot of similar coins but im not sure which one is the same as my coin.

In picture i put 1 Turkish lira (8gram) coin for size understanding. I think its not gold and made by copper.

I noticed the reverse side of the money was pressed back when I wanted to take a photo. is it normal?

If anybody will help me i ll be very happy. thanks. (my English is not good sorry for this)

The coin looks to me to be just bent a bit.
