Title: AE15 for identification
Post by: ancientone on May 20, 2022, 01:39:32 pm

This is 15mm and 3 grams. I have not seen anything similar so no clue where to start. Any help appreciated.

Thank you,
Charlie

3 grams for 15 mm is rather heavy. Can it be lead?

There are quite a lot of 15 mm coins with more that 3 g:

But I have no idea about the coin here (if it is really a coin) :-\.

I was a bit reluctant to post here a second message that is of no help to ancientone, but I see that I can thank Altamura, to ajust my view on the weight/metal of small coins, without really keeping "the line occupied" for incoming solutions for the identification of this coin.
So Altamura  ;) I have taken notice of it!
