[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8646162, member: 24754"]I kind of thought this to be the case as well. However, when comparing to other instances where this kind of thing happened, as with when Aureolus tried to garner Postumus' support by minting coins in his likeness, NGC uses this type of scheme: [ATTACH=full]1517840[/ATTACH] Where the (?) is missing after the name and "In the name of" is used in place of "For". Although, there is a (?) after the date in this example, so I'm guessing that it just means "We aren't certain". So, the (?) after Poemenius is probably just saying, "We think the person that minted this coin was Poemenius, but we're not certain.
