COIN

Unique ID: ESS-DCC794

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Possible modern copy of a Roman denarius. The patina of the coin is shiny but the condition is extremely pitted and worn. This could be an indication of a chemically treated ancient coin, or a poor example of a modern copy.

Very few letters are discernible but [V]'ICTO' can be seen on one face.
