Topcat7 Posted March 4 · Member Share Posted March 4 (edited) I don't have a clue of what I am looking at here. Can someone help me please? I have this 1.89gm., AE18.4mm. coin and I really don't know where to start with it. I am hoping that it will ring someone's bells as to what it is and/or where it has come from. Any help is appreciated, thank you, (in anticipation). Edited March 4 by Topcat7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted March 4 · Member Share Posted March 4 (edited) I am not sure about this one, but the first thing I had in mind is a barbarous radiate, 3rd century. I think your 2nd pic is the obverse - radiate head left. The reverse - I don't understand what it should be, as my brain refuses to see anything else than a person using a watering pot (and I am pretty sure this is not it) Something like this (for the obverse) Edited March 4 by ambr0zie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat7 Posted March 4 · Member Author Share Posted March 4 Now I see the watering pot. I saw a cat jumping up from the right to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maridvnvm Posted March 4 · Member Share Posted March 4 My eyes went to a Byzantine Trachea. It is probably better to have said nothing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the obverse (picture 2) I see a radiate head left - but this could be an optical illusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat7 Posted March 4 · Member Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) Thank you, M____n. I see what you see. Where would that lead us? Byzantine? John III (perhaps) . . . . similar to (but not the same as . . . . or . . . . Edited March 5 by Topcat7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
