Coin ID - It's a long shot.

4 posts
I was debating to bother with this as this coin is pretty much beyond any purpose, but I know some of us love all the mystery coin ID stuff. Have a look at this.





Going by the first picture, in my mind it looks like two figures divided by something..sort of temple triangular roof over the left figure(if it was a figure). Also is a large Alpha I think to the right of the figures, the kind I've seen on Byzantine coins. There is very faint writing (not legible and not really visible(in the picture) in a circular pattern around parts of the edge. I'm not sure if the rusty parts are from the coin. Oh, and it's about 13-15mm in dia.
I Identified it. A Roman coin of Constans. Which one exactly, I'll never know.
I'd also say its roman, the bottom coin is up side down, could be an imitation of a roman coin as well.

Yeah. It is upside down. I got a clear look at the coin in natural light..enough to ID it with some certainty. It's all moot anyway since the coin is too badly corroded to be of any use.
