COIN BLANK
Unique ID: FASAM-D29D5E
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Published 
Copper-alloy piece 11.48mm in diameter and 1.14g in weight. One side is convex, the other flat. It is possible that it is blank for a Roman period contemporary copy of a coin, prepared by dropping molten metal on to the flat surface. However, it was never struck. If it is a blank, it probably dates to c. AD 275-402.
