Love this small coin! I found a similar one (same year?) couple of years ago:

Yours is year 115 (145-144 BC), letters nun and aleph above galley.

Their system for number writing is complicated for our standard but reminds a little the Roman system, with the twist of being written and read from right to left. At least both write the last digit in a similar way (with I). 

 

Nice specimen of yours, well readable.

WOW, thank you! 

Also working on French silver. I have several editions of Victor Gadoury, Monnaies Francaises.

I got this piece recently, a low mintage date, and quite a nice one.

And this unusual little oddity of watermarked paper, apparently from the 1930s run of National Bank of Ireland series. Didn't pay much for it so a nice novelty piece:

 

Nicely done on getting that. Those Portals watermark paper samples have been much under appreciated as they hit the market.
