<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8072769, member: 128351&quot;]It is V V (as you can see on the coin). Two V are possible in Latin, like in VVA (grapes), IVVENTVS (youth). The Germans and Goths had a sound in their language that was not the Latin V, and was nearer the two Vs. They adopted it and it became long after our letter W. But how did they pronounce it? Wu? Voo? I think the Northern Germans pronounced it like today in English, while others pronounced it like V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
