    I have found what I think is a Sestertius in a batch of uncleaned coins. This is my first. Please help point me in the right direction. It weighs 1.02 g and is 18 mm in diameter. silver sistertius.jpg

    This is not Roman, it is a Medieval billon coin. Hungary or Germany maybe? Would need to better visualize the coat of arms.

    @romismatist and other interested parties, I am posting two different shots of the coin with enhanced cleaning. This is as far as I can go without damage to the coin. Thanks for any additional comments on the identification of this coin.
