[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4653181, member: 75143"]This coin is a mystery. The obverse clearly features a heavily bearded figure, which brings to mind: Macrinus Septimius Severus There are letters "AVK" on the obverse. Reverse has three distinct grape clusters and appears to be Nikopolis, which fits with a Severan emperor. The bust doesn't seem to be "oriental" enough for 7Sev, but doesn't really look like Macrinus either. [ATTACH=full]1148934[/ATTACH] Diam: 15mm Weight: 2.4g[/QUOTE]
