Sorry my photo's are quite pnts, it appears to have two figures facing eachother with at least one arm each aloft?Huh The other side of the coin sadly has no visible features, we think its made from bronze due to its colour, (Mrs Stampy let out a little whimper at first sight thinking it was gold! - or then again it might have been the spade around the head - when I Accidently slipped Grin )

That does sound like Roman, almost sounds like two Victories facing each other and holding a wreath in each arm, maybe House of Constantine? You will soon find out when you post a better pic!

I'm gutted no matter how many photo's I take I can't get it any clearer, there really isn't too much detail to work with anyway, perhaps I will bring it along to Sundays rally and see if anyone can take a look then , thanks for trying  Undecided

That's a great deduction Jon - I think you could be right.

Have a look here stampy:

Cant read the ledgend but I have taken some of the blur off, looks like two figures kneeling holding an object above their heads between them.

if you have a scanner, try scanning the object and then resizing it.
