[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7564180, member: 80952"]Haha, I corrected my attribution in my personal catalogue 30 seconds ago. Yep, V is visible, so it's either V or VI, but I think the legend has COS after V so 89. Not my favourite coin, but it has its rightful place in my album. Other interesting stuff from the 30 EUR lot: [ATTACH=full]1304230[/ATTACH] This would have been quite a denarius, had it been full. Now it's a boomerang of ancient provenance. [ATTACH=full]1304231[/ATTACH] This one was extremely difficult to photo because my phone refused to focus on it. The color is dark, dull gray, like a zinc coin from WW2. The hairstyle made me think at Julia Domna instantly.
