Can anyone tell me what type this coin is?

I don't recognize it, but better images might help someone get you the ID.

 

Can you give me an idea if you think it is roman or greek?

 

*welcome* coin7225

... sorry, I don't recognize it either (any chance you could give us slightly better photos and perhaps its weight and diameter and metal type, etc, etc ... is it magnetic? ... is it gold?)

good luck

Oh, and Happy New Year!!

 

I'd say medieval but I do not recognize the type.

 

Cilicia Armenian perhaps? But, yes, a better pic would definitely help.

 

Try Eighth Century Byzantine, provincial mint such as Syracuse, a semis or tremis.

 

Try UK William I - 1066 - 1087 Seaby 1251

 

1/16" thick. Non magnetic. I'll check that link. Thank you very much!

 

I believe that's it!!! Thanks! I've been searching for hours!

Compare to the above, second row left and click 'Back' to see the offering as part of the Medieval set of replicas. I am afraid it is a fake.

 

Sorry about that coin7225. Doug, once again it's amazing how you find these things. Truly awe inspiring.

 

The coin looked too good to be true unless in the hands of someone who would know it. The original is in the Ashmolean Museum. I Googled fake william conqueror coin and there it was.

 

Really? Like who and for what reason?
