<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4246230, member: 82549&quot;]Official coins of this breakaway empire are often so crude, and barbarous imitations so numerous, that it&#039;s just about impossible to say with any certainty whether a coin is official or barbarous in most cases. It may not even be a meaningful distinction. It was such a chaotic time, people back then probably didn&#039;t care, including the emperors. Whatever was needed to keep the economy going was okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s mine for comparison.</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/BreakawayEmpires/TetricusII.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><u><b>Tetricus II</b></u></p><p><i>Caesar, A.D. 273-274</i></p><p><i>Augustus, A.D. 274</i></p><p>Bronze Antoninianus</p><p>Gallic Empire, unidentified southern mint</p><p>Obv: C PIV ESV TETRICVS CAES</p><p>Rev: SPES AVG - Spes, walking left, holding flower and raising robe</p><p>RIC 270</p><p>20x18mm, 2.5g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
