[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 8351697, member: 84744"]Very cool!! And a fantastic analysis as well. This seems quite probable, but it's worth pointing out that the Chernyakhov culture holed gold coins from across the Danube are sometimes double-holed, and tetrarchic gold is quite common there - mostly imitations, of course, but some official. Here's an imitative example (not tetrarchic) from [URL='https://independent.academia.edu/OlegAnohin']Anohin's book[/URL] on the subject: [ATTACH=full]1481807[/ATTACH] So I think that's a possibility as well. (When I first saw the coin I actually wondered if it might be imitative in excellent style, but the stylistic similarities to the other official coins, including the follis, rules that out pretty securely I'd say.) Congratulations on a great acquisition![/QUOTE]
