Beaten by Allectus by a minute. I think he’s got a snipper app

Ps nice coin well done. They don’t come up that often

[Allectus]

The obverse favours BIII, I can't work the reverse out though?

[Oxgirl36]

This is the nearest i can find. I think the obverse is upside down?

I should know witch one is the obverse, but I actually don't. I don't know if what I see is a portrait or actually not.

Not sure it does but I think it might be this way up

This coin is now with the FLO, I hope she will tell me more about it.
I didn't found any real matching online, I was wondering if you have ever seen anything like this. I know that it's very worn and it could match with many sanxons. I am not even quite sure if it's silver or copper alloy.

Hi Thank you very much for sharing this link.
As you said he sent me the answer (and even recorded it on EMC database) in minutes.
Here is the answer

This is a coin of Series G (Type 3a). Here is a link the EMC/SCBI website, where you can see a large number of coins of this type by selecting 'Series G (Type 3a)' under 'Type': https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/advanced_search.

That's not a Series G bust. Nothing like one!

Honestly I’m glad you said that cause I wasn’t seeing it either

The reverse slightly resembles G3 but, looks more like a blundered copy.

[Allectus]

Here's G3a...

I can agree with all of you, I was just reporting what I have been told by the museum curator.

[dep1699]

Now there is an official classification for this here is the link. I am not competent to judge if that is correct or not.
