Help IDing aRoman (?) coin
« on: June 30, 2022, 08:33:49 am »
Hello first post, so please bear with me.

Found in a farm field in England near the town of Bishops Stortford
Weight: 1.35 g
Diam: 15 mm

What I can make out on the obverse is a 5 or 6 pointed radiate crown.
The reverse appears to be a figure with an outstretched arm/hand and maybe the letters I^ (Iota Lambda)

Any help is very much appreciated!

Barbarous radiate imitative coin.

The obverse reminds me of the coins of Tetricus I (I can make out a beard) but I don't think any of his reverse types had a seated figure.

However, some of Carausius' do - seated Pax for example - so given that and its find location, it might be an imitative coin of a Carausius type.
