Truthseekers: I think this may be a clue to the location of one of the Tessera.
For anyone who is verified as a Discoverer, your deadline for posting a placement prediction in the comments is Thursday, October 17th, 1700 UTC.

Coin has a code, starting from the bottom right and clockwise:
3331313235304e32393533303845
At first I thought it was GPS coordinates given "e", though I couldn't get it to point anywhere meaningful trying different formats. Probably a cipher, though I am not that great with ciphers. Will need some time.
Not sure, but maybe there is a "1" behind the eagle on the coin which makes
e3239353330384513331313235304
The coin seems to be a "Tyrian shekel".
Ok... Maybe Jerusalem?

Though inputting 31.1250N, 29.5308E just throws one out to sea on Google Maps, I believe there is more ciphering to be done from here. Thank you for the hex conversion to get us this far!

if 'e' is E(ast) and '5' is S(outh) then maybe
-29.5308, 31.1250 near Durban, South Africa?
Edit: wrong assumption!
Site of the former Library OR Pharos(lighthouse) of Alexandria as symbolism?
meh redacted, even though others quoted it
Ah I see, never mind then...
can it be in Egypt ? It’s written Ptolémée Basileus in greek on the coin.
He was a king in Alexandria in ancient egypt.
Very much so.
You don't help
redacted
Alexandria, As Sayalah Sharq, Qesm Al Gomrok, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt
The GPS Coordinates are correct in MaliciousWolf comment. Try 31.21388889N,29.88555556E in Google maps.
ENL obviously taking over the area as we type.
Clearly I wasn't the first to solve it. See COMM in that area. (I cannot post links)

TheBrownWizard: @Davinici25 found the media?
to which the agent did not reply! im sad😩
It's like the whole world is waiting patiently, and for all we know he already recycled his media 😂
The Sicarii?
Resistance agent NeoEGY
you are my newest hero 😍
Enlightened agent DaVinici25
Truthseekers, I have posted here some updates regarding the difficulties some Agents had during this first round of Tesserae discovery. You can find in that post how we're handling special cases like this one.
Since, in this special case, we are taking into account both who first hacked the Portal and who first posted about it in the forum, the NIA has shared their data with me for analysis. As it turns out, the two Agents who hacked the portal during the NIA error-period are the same Agents who have subsequently posted about this Tessera in the forum. So we currently have a total of two verified Discoverers.
And, according to the timestamps, @NeoEGY of the Resistance both hacked the Portal first, and posted first in the forum. For this reason, the Resistance will be awarded the Discovery point for this Tessera.
VERIFIED RESISTANCE DISCOVERERS
@NeoEGY (You earn 1 point for the Resistance as First Discoverer)
VERIFIED ENLIGHTENED DISCOVERERS
@Davinici25
A reminder, in light of the Discoverer Verification delays, we have extended the deadline for Placement Prediction guesses. Discoverers, please submit your Placement Predictions in this forum thread before 1700 UTC on Saturday, October 19th. And quote this Verification comment along with your Prediction.
Also, remember that, going forward, the order of hacking the Portal will not matter. For future Tesserae, Discoverer status will only be granted based on the order in which Agents post on the forum. It is only for specific Tesserae during Round 1 , as an attempt to course correct for errors, that Portal hacking-order is coming into play.
If we have no additional verified Discoverers before the Saturday deadline, we will simply submit the Predictions of @NeoEGY and @Davinici25 to the Tethered Hand, without a need to run a poll for this Tessera. If we verify even one more Discoverer between now and the deadline, for either Faction, a poll will be created for this Tessera, as originally planned.
