British coins

Yes there are only four that have ruffled fur and J to the right curve and angle. You have any idea of value and grade. Its patina is very thick 

I've found it JKK

There are quite a few varieties (14) I've narrowed it down to 4 possibilities

I'm quite sure it's a commemorative. There are a large number of VRBS ROMA commems that have the plumed, visored, crested bust of Roma obverse, she-wolf nursing twins reverse. So I shoveled through a long list of types, and the exergue choices I found are:

SMALx (where x is an oficina mark, typically a Greek letter). If so, that's Alexandria.

SMANx. Antioch.

AQP. Aquileia (not many of these).

xCONSxx. Constantinople. Note that the x can also mean a dot, or be absent. Clear as mud.

SMKx. Cyzicus. Many of these and I think it might be the one. Roman letters got banged around on coins.

SMHx. Heraclea.

xLG. Lugdunum.

SMNx. Nicomedia.

RxQ. Roma.

xSISx. Siscia. Also seems like a candidate.

SMTSx. Thessalonike.

xTRx. Trier.

If you want to pore a little more over the options, scan these. I suggest looking for those that show the ruffled fur, because that could narrow it down a whole bunch. But statistically, that coin almost has to be one of those mints.

 

I think you right KK,

I'm still looking not decided entirely yet. The coin itself is still being posted to me once it arrives I will have better pictures. I also think the point you made earlier about the J behind the head of roma is also a good key to find this coin. As you rightly pointed out its very horizontal to a 90 degrees of the center of the coin. Whilst strolling through I've noticed there is a great deal of variations to the angle of this part of roma's helmet.

Basically its narrowed the search down a great deal bristle back fur and J at a 90 degree angle to back of roma's helmet. I keep finding very similar the only thing that keeps throwing me of is the mint mark below the wolf and twins. I think the bad picture is not helping here the only letters im confident on when from that picture is a S and an N.

Definitely got the reverse type right. Looks like the bristly back version of the lupa. I'd say obverse, helmeted bust (be surprised if it weren't draped and cuirassed) facing left. That thing behind the head that looks like a J knocked over 90 degrees counterclockwise could wind up being diagnostic for pinpointing the obverse.

Thanks for the comment,

im really struggling on seeing the mint marks below the twins and and the wolf. 

I can _S_N do you have any thoughts on what I’m missing here
