[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7954436, member: 112342"]At first look it may seem kinda underwhelming, although it has some story to tell. Roman imitative bronze from Sri Lanka, 'Cross type'. [ATTACH=full]1378676[/ATTACH] The reverse was probably copied from a cross, however we see a Swastika, an auspicious symbol for the Hindu/Buddhist religions. The locals took in the Roman culture in the form of coinage, but they knew to separate the religion! 0.82 g. Next, ugly coin with a history.[/QUOTE]
