Need help identifying. Roman Empire?

5 berichten • 115 keer bekeken

Just found this coin in my backyard and I'm very curious. 

Coin is 2cm in diameter. Looks like bronze. Sorry I don't have scales.

 

On one side you can clearly see a face. Most probably with crown. Letters are not readable.

On the other side I can see Aequitas. And letter “C” which makes me think it ends with “OPTIMO PRINC”

You can also search with the image filter!

Believe me my friend, I did. I could identify it 100%

Image search in this coins will be no help.

 

I would try to do some searchs like “radiate” and try few filters

But it seems your coin is not on Numista catalog

I would guess late 3rd century Gaul/Britannia  antoninianus. Reverse looks like MONETA AVG, Moneta standing left holding scales in right hand. cf.  N#29952
