[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3404570, member: 80783"]Wow, how did you find it in there?! I wish I could understand Russian... Was it Goethe who said "The borders of our language are the borders of our world"? That book seems to include all one would need to know about these imitations. That will be some work for the translation program. I find it interesting that the plate coin of the gold version (Anohin 109) was also found in the Ternopil region. Maybe that was where the mint might have been located. So far I thought that the holed specimens predated the ones with a loop, so it is curious that mine should be a copy of Nr. 109. On the other hand, one could probably not produce un-holed coins from a holed host coin. Anyway, now we know at least four specimens of the type (two holed, one looped, one without hole or loop). When comparing it to the vast number of other specimens pictured in the book in terms of style and/or wear, I find my new acquisition a rather nice example of an imitative Aureus :shame:[/QUOTE]
