<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1342913, member: 19463&quot;]4.4g is quite heavy for a 17mm horseman but it is always possible that part of that weight is from metal deposited from other coins.&nbsp; There is not enough detail to say whether the style is official or not but there are coins like this from 15 mints so there will be variations in fabric.&nbsp; Barbarous is still a reasonable guess.&nbsp; If the coin were cleaned, that answer might be more clear but I suspect this one will be as easily destroyed in a cleaning attempt rather than improved.&nbsp; It does not look like an easy one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is common to see barbarous horseman coins with the entire legend replaced by I or an occasional O.&nbsp; If you clean enough to see some letters and they are all I, the question would be answered.&nbsp; Both of my barbarous coins of the type are thicker than normal. </p><p>[ATTACH]154761.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]154762.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
