Mark Stilson Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Trying to see if anyone has a idea of what this is? If it had more letters on it I may have do a letter look up. (At least if roman) (Part of a group of ancient coins I got. See cleaning my coins here. ) using electrolysis to get the dirt off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthos Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Looks like some kind of cuneiform letters. Egyptian maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I kind of thought about cuneiform also for the reverse? markings. But the ATV? gets me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 It could be a countermarked maravedis? Some of the ones I own are basically blank other than a assayer, parts of dates, or roman numerals representing kings. I don't know if that could have been mixed into a batch of ancients or not, they are from the 1600's-1800's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Found the Greeks and Romans also counter marked. Got a few pages now but no luck still on an id. Roman 1 Roman 2 Roman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
