I want to know dear what the name of this coin because itry on Google don't find smaller

I just want to ask from ur experience what the value for

 

Lovely.......

 

Thanks dear

 

I am appreciating that a coin can be lost in the ground for 1650 years and then be found again. If genuine, that’s the most fascinating part of this for me.

 

I hate to be a party pooper, but for those who think it is authentic, what do you think it is supposed to be? Valens, yes, but can you find a similar coin in archives or references? As far as I can tell, that reverse design was used for a medallion-sized coin weighing twice what the OP coin weighs... and the one example in ACsearch sold for ~$125,000 (NAC 88, 2015). That auction listing says that particular coin is unique and previously unreported.

Could this be another unique and unreported coin with the same design but at a solidus weight? Perhaps, but the odds are that there is a less exciting explanation.

 

This coin is not ancient, it is a modern fake.

 

The jeweler shop scratches it on black think than she put some liquid. Than she say it gold
I ask what kind of gold she say around 22k

Than I take it old jewelry shop he say it's gold but the edge very sharp maybe not original this what make me feeling not happy
