During the past week I've been trying to organize the Diocletian era nummi I've acquired over the years. One coin I hadn't looked at in many years caught my eye in regards to its weight, see photos below. The coin is common but in uncommon condition. The coin is Sear #14074, struck at the Ticinum Mint, 1st Officina, with a weight of 12.11 gm ! The standard weight for a nummus of this period (AD 195-199) is 10.50 gm. Can anyone top the weight of this coin with another Diocletian era nummus ?
Heavy with incredible silvering! I checked and I don't have anything that heavy amongst the 12 folles in my collection of the tetrarchy.
