<p>[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 2889913, member: 87186"]I did point you right to the identification of your coin. If you go to the link I pointed to in my prior post, (maybe my first), you will see the reverses for the ruler on the obverse of your coin. I believe I have identified the ruler from the legend on the obverse. So I think you can easily pin down the attribution. It is one of the two double victories (angel-looking beings) standing over an altar with a big round thing (wreath?) with some letters inside of it. Go and take a look. You can see enough of your reverse to compare it to the reverses shown there. And down below you will see your ruler. You know your's is right facing and there aren't many - and he has an interesting head gear so you'll be able to pick him out and then you'll know which coin you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to post another photograph after the brushing, please do. And better than a hand brush, you might get a child's battery operated tooth brush and then use it held at an angle against the surface of the coin sort of glancing it off the surface. But stop after some minutes. You do not want to heat up that dirt. Work for some minutes. Let the coin cool off and your hands too. And then work for some more minutes. Like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and have a good weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
