This article deals with two orichalcum coins of the emperors Domitian and Trajan set into ancient decorative ‹uniface› frames made of a copper alloy. These most unusual «pseudo medallions» (in J.M.C. Toynbee’s terminology), published here for the first time, are clearly related to each other morphologically. They are examined in the context of hitherto known pseudo medallions and medallions of the High Principate, and the question of their function in antiquity is discussed. Both of the objects were subjected to extensive metallurgical analyses at Tel Aviv University, the results of which are published in an appendix.
