<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8248879, member: 84905&quot;]Peixoto Cabral and Metcalf wrote in their book &quot;Suevic Coinage&quot;, Porto 1997, that only about 150 to 200 Suevic coins are known to date. Referring only to the gold coins of course, they reckon that 60% of the dies are not known, meaning that there should be a lot of &quot;surprises&quot; out there.</p><p>They mention of course the three siliquae in the name of King Rechiar, but don&#039;t discuss the possibility of an imitative silver coinage. I think it is likely that such an imitative silver coinage existed and that the coins above were part of it. The last coin posted by Severus Alexander shows ticks all the boxes: the lettering, the Milan mintmark and the bust is quite similar to that of some gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
