Barzus Posted July 31, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Hi, Within my main theme of Roman consecration coins, I particularly like strange coins and oddities. And it s often counterfeits that offer the most exciting things. Here is one that is really astonishing by its fine style and iridescent tone, and which has the advantage to depict a representation of The She-Wolf, that normally never appears on official consecration issues. don’t hesitate to share your thoughts or other specimens if you have seen any!

shanxi Posted August 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Nice fourrée. These fourrée are interesting because they show often unusual obverse and reverse combinations. On the other hand, these combinations are historically meaningless which makes them less interesting. But of course I wanted some in my collection. Here another Vespasian fourrée from my collection. In this case only a variation of bust type and legend: Vespasian, Caduceus Denarius subaeratus (fourrée) Obv.: laureate head left, CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG Rev.: winged caduceus, PON MAX TRP COS V AE/AR, 2.82 g, 19 mm Ref.: "RIC 75 var.

Barzus Posted August 1, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Nice, to continue with Vespasien, here is one combining a lifetime obverse and posthumous reverse with capricorns. Style is more.. approximate 😊 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
