<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mutargim, post: 1391915, member: 36768&quot;]Thank you! In fact, I am a coin collector or even a coin finder from my childhood, but my experience is limited by 17-20 centuries.</p><p>I found this piece of the a coin by myself in 1977, and it, surely, was a coin, because it was made so that no other way of usage of this piece of brass when it was unbroken jet was expected. Also, the place where it was found was once a little fort used till the beginning of the 16th century. With the exellent view on the Arabian sea from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I think, it was broken as &quot;emergency&quot; money because when I myself came to this place I also could not change a large local bill as local people hadn&#039;t enough small paper money or coins - and it was in the second half of 1970s! Surely, the situation was more complicated in this place through its history BC and AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the edge of this piece shows that it was made in this wery special way to prevent a coin fromgrinding metal - so they often defended the integrity of the coins in ancient times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
