Hi all, A few months ago I bought these two old 12 Caesars metals. I bid on others but these are the only two I won. I think they're very cool (especially since I do not have ancient coins of either of these fellows). I've been searching for information on them and have yet to find anything. I'm especially interested in when they may have been made... They look 19th century... but who knows. The only information that was posted with them is that they are British medals. Anyway, anyone run into these before? Thank you! Josh 28mm 11.7 grams
I don't know what those are, but they are pretty cool At first I thought it was a Dasssier medal, maybe it is even, but those look a bit different. Here's an example of one... https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=217747 One of these is on my list.
Post them in the exonumia thread. Lots of very sharp numismatists post there and maybe someone has seen them before.
Thanks for the link, there is some similarity! I searched for "Dassier" + "Galba" "Otho" "Caesars" and other key words and didn't find anything but the similarities in lettering style make me think that they are at least contemporary. I'll post to the exonumia board and see what comes back. Thanks! In the meantime feel free to pile on with any non-ancient, ancient medals/medallions! Thanks!
