hotwheelsearl Posted July 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 19, 2022 I don't have a scale, but this probably weighs about 1g, and 16mm. The eagle reminds me of Claudius II's consecratio issues, but this is obviously a provincial coin. I think I see a lambda on the obverse, which also points to Claudius II, but I just can't figure it out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
