wow, if you are continuing, we are getting jealous. So, we are waiting for the next 😀😄 in the meantime, lets go to China, a coin that i received in the years 80 as present from a supplier when I was my own boss. I have still contact with him. AU 100 yuan, 23 mm, 11.318 gr, 12 k, 917 % km 145, 7000 ex, 1986

nice coin from the same mint, but on my coin see the left feet and also the whole position of the woman with the head upwards to good looking the emperor. She is waiting for a present, not bidding in my opinion. I am wondering that in the same mint, there are different ways of expression of the same picture. Here for me it is not only a manner of representation, but more a manner of interpretation of an image, choosed by Rome and interpreted by a local craftsman

no, any idea for the moment. As I see many scarabbs, it is noted for the future.

prices are very high for the moment and I think there are not much of this coins for sale for the moment. It is my edea. A collection of 60 coins, it is impressionant and fascinating. I have only one :

Nice, special scarab. Interesting for the period. My first idea was late period, as Petrie said. Maybe this can help you :A.F.Gorton, Egyptian and Eyptianizing Scarabs, Oxford 1996, pp 91-97

yes, you are right. Often seeing such a piece, I am asking myself : what was it before ? where comes it from ? I've bought in the years 80 an old farm in the Belgian Ardennes, dated 1732. Transformating the house, I've found in one of the walls a piece of wood, dated 1694, with no sence to be there, but just in the good place for me now in the actual dining room. I love history, I studied history, but every year I am getting older, I have more problems to understand, because when I think to understand, a million questions are raising. I think it is the age ... but I like it.

@DonnaML where did you find the key of my safe ? 😁 very niece and nice presentation

I think @The Pontian is right. I suppose these metals were found with Roman coins, so of the same period. The 2 points on the back side can give an indication. I have some appliques for houses in my collection, but there are a few holes to fix it. So maybe, you 2 points were to fix it an a soft curtain or something like that.

So, I had a little time to spend on this coin. Very interesting. I spend most of time on the references of @John Conduitt, both references free on internet. But also thanks to @Hrefn and @Dwarf: everything is helping. I noted all this references on my numismatic card for this coin.

Thank you.

I bought this coins years ago without knowing anything of. This has not changed till today.So my question : where can I find information ? For me, the information I have found online is to general. Can somebody help me ? Thank you and show your hacksilber coins, please. 1.88 gr, 11 mm Obv : abstracct head left Rev : Cross with central pellet, 4 smaller pellets around, Axe (r) and pellet within circular border (l) in visible angles 1st century BC ref : LT.cf.3316(axe left),BN.cf 3312-3325 (axe left). I dont know these references. Any idea? Some more examples?

nice coins,wow

That's a very nice one and in the same style as yours. Found an interesting article on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campana_reliefs

Since years, I don't no more collect late Roman coins, but if there is a nice coin, not expensive and special, I buy it. So, I bought this coin from Theodosius I. I'll show first the normal version on a coin from Gratianus AE 23, Gratianus, 367-383 DN GRATIA / NUS P F AUG : pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right REPARATIO / REIPUB, in exergue : BSISC ; Gratianus standing left, raising a kneeling female wearing a turreted crown, holding Victory on a globe 23 mm, 5,25 gr, 6 h RICIX,26a2, mint Siscia, officina secunda. and the Theodosian Coin : AE 23, Theodoius I 379-395 D N THEODO / SIUS P F AUG REPARATIO / REIPUB, in exergue ASISC 23 mm, 5.4 gr, 12h RICIX,26c1, Siscia officina prima I think the engraver of this die tried to give a kind of three dimensional feeling to the scene by placing Tyche's leg outside the scene's border. Doing this he created a feeling wich is unusual for this coinage.

Wich date Rolf gives you ?

what is the size of this fragment? I think the only solution to identify is the headdress and at a first view, it looks me 2/3 century AD.

I have most European gold coins from Belgium, France Great Britain, Italy... I have only one German coin. 10 mark, 1898, mint Berlin, 19.5 mm, 3.98 gr. Wilhelm II Deutscher Kaiser König v Preussen. All very beautiful coins

very beautiful coin of excellent quality. I have two coins of Trio The coin you have is Crawford 1A, with a necklace of beads, 1b has a necklace of pendants. congrats with such a beauful coin

No, I did my work not good, if ever you can make an impression of the scarab, post it, you never know...I am not 100 % now

I have only once AE coin of this period Cr 25/3, 16 mm, 2,62 gr, 241-235 BC I join also the timetable of the early Roman coinage of Andrew Burnett, accurate to plus or minus 10 years.
