<p>[QUOTE="Jiminey, post: 1725501, member: 53889"]This coin would not have a specific denomination by todays standards. As much as we do know about ancient coins, we do not know what these would have been called in ancient times. Today we would refer to this coin as an AE X (X = the size of the coin in mm). AE is the abbreviation for Aeratus, Latin for copper. Just guessing but at 15g I would think your coin is 25-27mm, so you would refer to this coin as an AE25, AE26 or AE27 (again this is just a guess, measure it for the correct number).</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
