Hello to you very helpful folks. I have here an "object" I have been soaking/picking and stumped on for almost a year now. What first appeared to be a 25mm larger AE
Roman is now surfacing through a very hard/thick white/tan clay material with a press that is identical on both sides leaving me to believe it is now something else, possibly a fastener or button, however quite a large button from what I recall of other
Roman artifacts. The pictures I
hope help show my dilemma. The metal has a dull silver color, no obvious/visible chemical damage or reactions, so while I do not think it is silver, it doesn't appear to be of iron make either. This is where I am now at a loss and have no further knowledge to go on. I was trying to find a database like here and
wildwinds but for
rings and other artifacts and I cannot seem to find one with images and catalogued sections to reference my
rings and other objects. I am sorry if this "coin" becomes unacceptable for this section of ID
help but I
had to start where I have found the most
help since joining here 2 years ago. My
scale is without battery at the moment so I cannot provide the exact
weight. I want to say when I did weigh it when I first began soaking i noted it was heavier feeling than the usual 25mm AE
romans but this is
complete guessing so I wont even include that as it may be misleading to anyone helping. The main questions are
1. Is this even a coin?
2. What is the design that is parallel on both sides
3. What metal is it possibly
4. Is it even of
Roman or Greek origin?
