<p>[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3186826, member: 77226"]Nice coin! What’s the size and weight of these? Are they rare because few survive due to small size/poor metal (but many were made) or because few were minted? I’m just wondering why base-metal coins from this era seem to be rare and why more 5th century emperors and rulers aren’t pulled from crusty lucky AE4 eBay lots. I admit, I ask these questions because I’m clueless about western coinage after about 400Ad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
