Two months later, here is the only coin worth mentioning of the remaining 7 forvm uncleaned presented in the first post in this thread:...
Your coin has the legend on the flan. If the wrong dies were used only for year 25, this happened more than 15 years after your coin was minted.
If my attribution is correct: Heraclius (hRA visible) - follis - CON mintmark - officina A - regnal year I - ref. DOC 69.a - approx. 30 mm & 11 gr...
Somehow part of the above statement applies to the coin below. It is worn, slightly off-centered, no readable obverse legend, poor strike and with...
Thank you, BenSi, you were kind enough to answer in my thread on byzantines as well. Indeed, i got all those materials and i started reading. I...
Nice. I assume is one of the perks of having a narrow focus - you can identify rarities that others do not see. I am new to the byzantines and...
Sorry for the little one. After trying the washing machine on the uncleaned, i have a major inconvenient to add the vacuum cleaner on the...

The reverse does not look like any Venus Victrix of Julia Domna that I could find, but like the reverse of Venus Victrix for Plautilla. Since the...
Saw some time ago this denarius on ebay (seller's pictures). For some strange reason, I liked the coin. Did not find on wildwinds a similar...
Alegandron, this is a great exemple of how the language evolved and one's (read mine) opinion is influenced by local legends. Because I originate...
I need to correct this: Dracula does not mean Dragon. It is a word derived from "Dracul", which means "the devil". Also, the Dacian draco is well...
The thread should have as motto "if you want a nice coin, buy one" (Doug Smith). Cleaning should not be done for the material outcome. If I take...
