TuckHard Posted March 9, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 9, 2023 Well this is nearing on 6 hours, so I will put this call out- can any friends here help ID this mystery coin? It's been in my collection for years now and I've never been able to nail down a proper ID for this. I've tried every Numista search possible, sifted through bronze coins, but never found a match. At this point I'd guess it is a token or jeton- simply for a lack of anything else I can find. But I'd love to be proven wrong or even have an idea of who is on this coin.
