If, in fact, you can find no way of providing an image, you need to show the coin to ancient specialty dealers at a show of find a coin club.&nbsp; There, perhaps you can find someone able to make an image if not a Byzantine expert who might have an opinion.&nbsp; You could even send it off for a certificate.&nbsp; These days it seems hard to participate in the online hobby without some form of imaging.&nbsp;&nbsp; We have a few members here who do but they miss out on a lot.&nbsp; One answer is buying coins that come with images.&nbsp; Another is paying a kid with a camera. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to see this item but my current best, totally uninformed guess would have to be that the coin is a modern replica.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
