[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7961369, member: 84905"]I don't think that these bronze imitations circulated in the 5th, 6th or 7th centuries. I think they were produced in the 4th century and only circulated at that time. However, it is also not necessary for these coins to have actually circulated in order to inspire much later die engravers. Thrymsas and Sceattas and indeed much later Pennies of the 10th and 11th century were often inspired by Roman coins. The coin below (not my coin) was minted for King Aethelred in the 10th century, but the design of the bust was clearly inspired by a Probus Antoninian with helmet, radiate crown and shield. [ATTACH=full]1380119[/ATTACH] Roman coins were found in hoards or individually and copied by Anglo-Saxon mints.[/QUOTE]
