<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3917785, member: 56859"]Given the high-ish weight, I don't think it's going to be a tetrarchal Egyptian tetradrachm. The Valerian/Gallienus era would fit though and what I can discern of the portrait makes either a possibility. I bet with just a little bit of cleaning and with <i>much</i> better images we could make out enough of the legend to ID the issuer. The reverse will need a lot of work and may not be salvageable or identifiable. My best guess at this moment is a reverse showing an eagle standing, but that's just playing the odds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
