Hi All

I was given a load of coins today from a friend who found them in his fathers draw after he had passed away.

He knew i collected so has given them to me. The majority are milled coinage that I am familiar with

, however this one is a mystery me. I had a quick look in Seaby - Coins of Great Britain and think it maybe an

Antonious Pius. But haven't a clue what type of coin. It is about the size of a shilling, quite thick with a reasonable weight.

I think it could be silver.

Any help would be appreciated
