Style is right which is a bad sign in this case since a cast made from a genuine original will have correct style. I agree with the pass.
While I agree it is Khusro II, it is too early for my mind to tackle reading the reverse. What I see that interests me is what I believe to be a...
RIC suggests that the really bad coins of Carausius were from the first part of the reign with improvement coming later (perhaps 290?) when the...

I wish I understood this one. RIC 62 (Rome, period three) lists the Orions reverse here with no XXI and officina P through X in exergue, XXI in...

My favorite Aurelion. [ATTACH]
Actually, I suspect you are more likely to get comments on a newly added coin if you start a new thread with it. When I get a note that there has...
