bronze 24 mm Nemausus? ID help (ACINIPO)
« on: January 09, 2015, 02:02:54 pm »
Bronze 24 mm and weighs 7.65 g.
Don't know what it is and not in very good shape but reminds me of coins of Nemausus.

There appears to be a letter before  the" NIPO"?  maybe a C  or G.
I am including a couple of close up pictures.
I know there is real difficulty in trying to figure out these poor quality coins but they are like a puzzle to me and if you can ID the coin it feels great.

Hi folks,

I thought it was a Spanish coin when I looked at it. My suspicion was correct. :)
