This jugate bust is fantastic. I have never seen this coin type before and the BM was not keen to get this coin?
From a listing (from 2009) of known examples of this type I see that the BM owns an example:
BM, ex Slg. Lawrence, ex E. Bourgey (7.5.1930) Nf. 480, ex Stg. Dissard. (1,61 g)
Maybe this could be the reason.
This is the example I have in my collection:

@shanxi, great examples of double die matches; thanks for sharing.
With regards to double die matches of local imitations please check also the examples Dominic started this topic with 😀; they are also great.

Should I continue with my ancients collection in my 2nd WC ?
If you have some shitty Victorinus coins I would start with them 😋

Some really great local imitations; love the dinosaur 🦕 one!
Here an overview picture of some from my collection.

Interesting seeing local imitations of this great coin type.
Can’t share any “locals” but have these two official issues. Especially the one from Lyon is a great coin if you ask me 😀

The Semissis an unpopular denomination?
in Roman Empire
Posted
Here is my semissis. It is of the 2nd reign of Justinian II and I only later found out it was a semissis as the weight was wrongly mentioned in the auction description.
Also later somebody pointed me on an error in the obverse legend:
D N hIS ChS REX ERGNANTIYM instead of REGNANTIYM.
The weight is 2,15 gram and it is 17,3 mm. The coin looks ok for me but as I have not handled a lot of Byzantine coins any opinion is very welcome!
