zanzi Posted September 4 · Member Share Posted September 4 (edited) Hello, I thought I had got a steal when I found this listed as 'Mystery coin' on eBay. I recognized it as a silver bracteate and thought it was a good price. Hunting for an ID is half the fun for me, but this one has frustrated me for a few weeks so I've given in. Can anyone help? I'm not entirely sure it is European but it doesn't seem like many bracteates were made elsewhere (just India, Bangladesh, Burma and Thailand) and this doesn't match any I could find. If it is South Asian, I guess the wheel would be a 'chakra'. Do any bracteate experts recognize this? I made a drawing of the features I could see in hopes it helps to identify it. Mystery coin, AR bracteate, 0.2 grams, 14mm x 12.5mm, 0.3mm thick I would appreciate any responses, even without any answers, so please share your bracteate coins or your mystery coins. If I recognize them I will help you identify them! Edited September 4 by zanzi 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
