Just a bit of fun @Spaniard and @dougsmit. No need to be condescending to those of us that do find it interesting...
though to Doug's point, maybe I do post too many of the same coins and should take a break.:/

 

@Ryro.....Apologies!....I wasn't being condescending towards you in particular!.......I don't usually post anything like that in general!....But I was having a BAD day!.....Baaahhh!!!..I think we've all been there?....Do not! 'take a break' your coins are cool!.......
As to... 'Repetitive postings' of the same coins (In any thread!) I'm probably one of the worst,,,,as I don't have that many coins!...and you can make them fit into a variety of themes!.....
I just need to buy more coins

Roman imitative coin from Sri Lanka, fallen horseman type.

Next, an out of place coin.

 

This coin is quite misplaced; it was minted in present day Indonesia (probably on Bali or East Java) and copies its obverse inscription from a coin issued by the Northern Song Dynasty of China from 1008 to 1016 AD while the reverse poorly copies a Manchu script mintmark that was used by the contemporary Qing Dynasty starting in the 1700s into the early 1900s. I don't think these have been studied much but I've seen one expert's opinion that these date to around 1800-1900.

Imitation of East Java or Bali
c. 1800-1900 AD (?)
Zinc Cash | 3.11 grams
