Anyone have any ideas about this coin?

Forgot to say the coins not flat. Its curved 

Typical Byzantine trachy

Referee of south atlantic islands

Thanks, think it might be this one

 

N#126804

 

Any value in these coins? 

Seems fake with a 90% probability.  The pictures are terrible…and it is NOT the coin illustrated in numista…

A gallery of my coins and artifacts can been seen on FORVM Ancient Coins

So how can I get the photos better? Closer? 

 

And fake? How can you tell? 

 

I just need some information from anyone that can help? Even if you can tell me how I can tell its fake? Looks pretty old to me. 

 

Plus will the weight help? Or can I look for something? 

 

Thanks 

There are glaring problems with this coin and unfortunately, I can not divulge the issues due to the numerous fakers out there.  Either way, I would suggest you look at the following list of coins to compare against yours.  Look at it carefully, including legends, garments, etc to see if you can find a match (hint - you won't):

In my opinion it looks fake. It might have been made as a pendant for a necklace because it has that hole at the top.

What exactly makes it look fake to you?  Just curious as it looks real to me but I don't know what I'm talking about.

It was a common practice at that time to take coins with religious symbols and saints and put a hole on it and thus wear it or hang it:

Well first off I looked at the link you posted for the identification of the coin and the letters on the obverse are in the wrong place. Also I think the wear looks kinda weird. I might be wrong but I think it looks like a replica.

I have plenty of them with holes. In areas where people were poor and no possibilities it was a common practice to make lacknace and bracelets.

2 I also found a coin bended in that style for making something from it. It has  about 2mm thickness and look to me to be prepared for making a button. Foto added

And look at the hole. 400 years ago they dond have drill bits and hole were not perfectly roud. Generally holes were makes with nails.

Making holes had another purpose as well. In the Ottoman Empire, a woman getting married took a dowry from her home. She could take as much as she could carry. So the silver coins were punctured and sewn onto the dresses. You can get a lot this way. 😃
