I don't recognize the letters. I think corrosion may have removed parts of the letters, leaving only fragments behind. There are many coins from...
Definetely looks Greek. Maybe Heirons III of Syracuse?
It is a decent board. I think you will like it here. I've been a member for a couple of years and, to be honest, yours is the first negative...
This is what I consider my most valuable coin, largely because of the history associated with it. This was the first Roman coin to have a portrait...
I don't see evidence of its being draped. I would go with just cuirassed.
I find this type particularly ironic, given the enmity between the two co-emperors.

Here's mine. I find it interesting that the reverse is so off center while the centering on the obverse is just about perfect. How'd they manage...
If you look to the left of the "S" at around--assuming the S is at 6:00--7:00, you'll see an artifact on the edge that looks like a bowl, or a C...
This is a situation up with I shall not put.
The reverse is fairly common for that time period, but I don't often see one in as nice a condition as yours. Love the obverse portrait....
