[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8210858, member: 110226"]Now that is a very interesting countermark and history! It would have slipped by me, with my extremely rudimentary knowledge of Aramaic and Phoenician characters. I am not sure if the metal attached to the edge of the coin came from within the coin, since I would assume the coin's surface would display heat stress, such as melted or semi-melted surfaces. Could it be that the attached metal is from an adjacent coin that slowly dissolved over the centuries? Do you have the coin's weight? What a great addition to your collection![/QUOTE]
