HELP!!! Roman?????

[Mike from MI]

Ok so I don't believe it is as old as a Roman item. It is as small as a silver 3 cent piece. Small hole drilled in it, stamped on brass or copper so the back is the reverse image. Looks like aRoman with a wreath in his hair? It is old, but not real old!
What say you?

Thanks.

It looks like a coin of Desperate Dan but it ain't no Roman

And to paraphrase SS, it also looks like 'it ain't no coin', espeically with an identical back image.

one of the coins on a belly dancer's costume. Doesn't even have to look much like a coin as no one is looking at it to figure out if it is real or not.

Oh I knew it was not a coin. Just wondering if it maybe depicted a specific Roman person? Also what it might be.

Mmmm, let me go look in the closet to see if the coins on my BD ensemble are like this In the meantime, you might want to check out this page:

Seriously speaking, is it thin & light weight or heavy? More than likely it is a 'charm' of some type that was on a costume, like belly dancing or the likes, or on a bracelet, earrings, etc.

Crikey. You had my imagination running riot then Breezie, with the mention of your B&D ensemble - then I realised

It is on the this side and found in and around the older stuff. I was thinking a charm. I can tell it is older probably 50's or older. Thanks for the help.

Sorry Mate, just a bit of leg pulling. The closest match to a Roman profile would be Antoninianus Pius, but like you said not a coin...know idea of what it might be
