Nice coin. Sorry you missed out on it. I wish I'd seen it myself! Are you sure it was only 22 mm.? That sounds much too small for a dupondius.

Hacksilber is the German spelling.
Does anyone happen to know just how many feast days/festivals the Romans had every year? Did a week ever go by without one?
