What do you see what i see?

[George111 8]

I found what I believe is a  roman coin I know its not most of your area but  

I think I know what I see but I value the fact as you all seem to have a good eye that you may see it too

Not good picture I know I've tried scanning the coin

Thanks

I see a disc of metal that can have an assigned value if you can establish the element or alloy. Sorry, feeling mischievous.

If viewing this on a mobile phone that's probably what you will see

I got the orientation slightly off on the second picture tilt head right should make it better LOL

If you had been under the ground for 1900+ years you would not look your best either LOL

I'm obviously no artist but this is what I see

It is the right size and appearance for a Roman grot, and there may be a portrait but it is too far gone to be sure. You will have more luck with the coin in hand, rather than any photo I'm afraid.

Do you have a local FLO? he might help.

Am I the only one who sees this ?

Sorry George, as I said above to make anything out of the photo is wishful thinking, it is probably clearer in the hand. But the coin you have identified it as is an incredibly rare coin of Roman Judea, not a coin likely to have made its way to Britain. You need to show it to an expert for an accurate opinion, and even then it may be too far gone.

In hand I can see KA---P parts of this word KAICAP on the heads side, when I tilt it I can see the impressions

of the 2 virtical lines either side of the "figures" which make the sides of the "temple"

[George111 8]

I can also see vicimarias's legs and arm quite well it looks like a cross/dagger in his hand,

 can also just about make out the hand shake of the 2 figures "Agrippa"? and "Claudius"? in the centre

You can't see the neck of "Claudius"? obviously because of the damage and delamination of metal of that area

I've got a lot coins in worse looking state than this being it could be 1,975 yrs old cAD42 cAD43

Took this coin to the Bristol museum and the finds officer has said its a roman soldier killing a horseman in battle minted in France AD348 and not the coin I thought it was and so instead of it being 1,975 yrs old its only 1,600 yrs old LOL
