Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know anything about this piece? It appears to be a trial piece of some kind. I believe it is white metal or lead and measures 31x 37mm. It is not magnetic. The obverse features a bust of what appears to be a Greek or Roman ruler bust with a laurel wreath on his head! This bust is framed by an oval wreath the reverse is blank.

Below you will find the obverse and reverse of the piece.

    Please edit your thread title to let readers know you’re not asking about a U.S. trial piece.

    Whatever its origin, it is not ancient in style. Probably more like 17th to 19th century.
