<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2404431, member: 19463&quot;]I am a big fan of Magnentius but not nearly as into Lugdunum as you are.&nbsp; The two victories are probably the most common of the types probably explaining why my best coin is a match for your better one. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]495986[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have a match for the Chi-Rho from Lugdunum so I&#039;ll go way off and show a coin of his brother (?) Decentius Caesar from Arles.&nbsp; At least it has the Chi-Rho.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]495987[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite mint is Amiens so I&#039;ll also show a slightly different &#039;cross-Rho&#039; from that mint.&nbsp; I love the style even though the surfaces are not the best.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]495990[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For a ruler in power for so short a time, I feel Magnentius has a lot of interest to offer.&nbsp; Steve showed the most popular huge Chi-Rho.&nbsp; There are too many others to cover well (even if I had them all - I don&#039;t) but I am fond of the emperor on horseback spearing an enemy soldier.&nbsp; It should not surprise that my example is also from Amiens. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]495991[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The most rare Magnentius is a Falling Horseman of the standard type (FH2) issued either in error or by an unofficial operation.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t have one but it is on the watchlist.&nbsp; Magnentius does have gold and silver but those are not even reasonably on my list.&nbsp; Do show them if you have them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
