Hello everybody. My grandfather found this coin on his field. I live in Hungary. he was in his field, planted corns and dig holes.....and one of the holes he found this coin. Sorry but im not so good at english, sorry for the mistakes. I looked after a coin like this in a lot of coin collection on the internet, but i give up because i dont similar like this. Who is there on this coin?(Hadrian?Because i think he is.Or not? ) What can i see in the other side of the coin? What material made this coin? Please help !
Definitely not Hadrian. I think its similar to: edit:Corrected Galerius AE Follis. c 298 AD. MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES, laureate head right / FELIX ADVENT AVGG N N, Africa standing facing, head left, in long drapery with elephant-skin headdress, holding standard & tusk, at feet to left, lion with captured bull, I to left, PKD in ex .Carthage RIC VI 26b http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/max.html http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/galerius/t.html
wow ! :O Thank you for the help, you are a god !. Because i search a lot on the internet to find this coin,(about 10-12 hours a week) because it is my grandfathers "chest", but he dont know how old this coin. I have got some question to you. You say it is a Carthagian coin.....but a Carthagian coin in Panonia? (Pannonia Superior) ? :O It is so exciting i think, or not?
No problem. I am not 100% certain if from Carthage so hopefully someone with more experience can confirm this. It was just the closest I could find here: http://www.wildwinds.com/ Roman coins from different parts circulated all over the empire. I curious about that hole in it. It looks like it might be from a nail.
Okay. Thanks It is very fine for me I think it is very exciting because i like history Can you help me a little please? I have got some photos. My grandfather found some coins too when he was young and i take photos about the coins..... But these are not roman coins, and younger so much i think. I dont know who is in the coins. Do you help me ? If yes, i link the photos.
If they are not Roman, then I dont know if I can help much. But there should be some here who can, so post them
The coin is in the right side of the picture. In think this is an eastern europen coin....but it is a tip :S Any idea? It is not a Hungarian coin, i know. In the left side of the picture there is a Illyrian coin, my historian friend said. Is it true what my friend said?
Yeah, the far left is definitely Illyrian, though I don't know enough about this particular type of coinage to identify it more specifically. However, someone else here might, so take a picture of the other side if you want more information.
Thank you very much randygeki On the last picture the coin.... when was it being made , in the roman era or not ? Do you have any idea?
