COIN
Unique ID: NLM-547353
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Possibly copper alloy possible coin. A discoid object which appears to be covered by ferrous corrosion, though not responding to testing with a magnet. The poor surface condition might suggest this to have passed through intense heating. No detail is discernible beneath surface encrustation. Perhaps a radiate or nummus. Suggested date: possibly late Roman, 260-410.
