[QUOTE="TrevorE, post: 3358751, member: 101370"]I bought this coin...accidentally. At an open-air market in Tbilisi, Georgia, I picked up the coin at a stall to examine it, and then promptly dropped it on the concrete. It had survived hundreds of years, I suppose, relatively intact, then I knocked a lump off the edge, which you can clearly view. I asked the old Georgian man how much he wanted for it, without letting him know I'd already damaged it, then haggled him down to about thirty dollars. I was just glad it wasn't a few hundred or whatever. Anyway, it's about 18mm across, maybe 2 grams, and probably silver. More, I don't know. I'd love to know, what country? What period? And what language? Oh, and if you've got a link to the same coin in a better state. Thanks in advance. [IMG]https://s.yimg.com/tr/i/42266cbe2d434698aa8b31d4bbd50bf1_A.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
