<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 8182225, member: 84905"]If coins like the OP coin were leaving the official mints that implies that the whole operations were run be illiterates. I think it is more likely that these coins were produced either by some kind of auxiliary mints that produced coins in times of great need or by counterfeiters who knew that they would pass for real if mixed into larger payments. I mean such bungled legends would almost be an insult to the emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
