<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24654706, member: 26430&quot;]It seems like there are occasional &quot;Limes Denarii&quot; as early as Trajan: <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=%22limes+denarius%22+trajan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=%22limes+denarius%22+trajan" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=&quot;limes+denarius&quot;+trajan</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(Most seem to be from the Severan period, at least in my experience. I have a couple dozen or so.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re not already familiar, Limes (&quot;Lee-Mace&quot;) Denarii may have been a kind of token coinage struck in border regions (the <i>Limes</i>) where it was impractical or unsafe to deliver silver.
