Dears,

I found this coin with an animal, it looks a deer. Coin is 12x13 mm around and 1.2 g 

May be it's this coin from Georgia?

N#168648

 

Thank you for your time

Hello! Yes,my friend,you are right: the design of both faces of your coin matches well that of the coin in Numista catalogue you have found. But… not at all the weight: yours,1.2g. ; the cat. says 8.4g.(!!!). Very big difference! I don't know what to say… Maybe other denomination of a same type?!

My coin has also half diameter of the coin present in Numista

So,in my opinion,the conclusion is that you have another denomination of this type… maybe half (or less) of the ‘’½ bisti'' of the catalogue.

I have a second coin with a *deer", very similar about weight and dimensions

But in other side I'm not able to see nothing

No, I think it is a goat.

...you can run,  but you can't hide...

I searched in Numista as "goat* but I didn't find a match

I think the right match is this one:

It is  wild goat, I have  similar coin with almost same weight ( with countermark) . It is persian style fulus , low denomination ( 1/8 Bisti or so)

BTW, your coin need to be cleaned.  it has  quit a  big lay of ground, which covered almost 60% of  whole coin surface. and it should be  removed for  better  storage of YOur  coin. Details, also will be  visible much better after it will be cleaned.

yours,

Thank you David for your reply. Could you suggest me a way to clean it, please?

Do you think this coin is not in Numista yet?

Andrea from Italy

48 -72 hours in aqua distillata bath, then clean the upper lay, then again, again and again until  removing whole  dirty. . cleaning process should be under scope, at least X10. YOur coin will look much better. after cleaning YOu can  cover it  by olive oil,  or vaseline and leave  to dry. It depends on  each collector`s preferences - how  eacj collector  would like to see their coin. 

better to train on cheap coins  without any collectible worth . 

 best

Dear David,

many many thanks for your suggest. I try with this process.
