<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 3933020, member: 84905"]The whole attribution is bogus - question mark or not. The Gepids never minted bronze or copper coins and such coins have never been found in or around Sirmium, i.e. the Gepidic capital. As I said before, some serious and experienced dealers and auction houses make these attributions to enhance the attractiveness of these coins. In fact, they also do this with other imitative or inofficial coins. Stick the lablel "unidentified Germanic tribe" to a coin and the price goes up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
