Beats me. I'm slowly reading through those links. You have as much information as I do. Where they came from is simple enough - wherever the...
Good thread. I'm definitely putting the CC mint on my to-do list. Thanks for all the pics.
Seven diadem variations occur on these coins, minted in seven officinae at the Constantinople mint, in addition to the fact that the mint mark...
This isn't a new coin, but a new photograph coupled with an interpretation of the reverse design I discovered in a numismatic tract called...
I've read some of the material that Bob L. posted, but certainly not all - there's a lot there. Two things stand out to me about Celtic coinage....
