<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 5375218, member: 72790"][ATTACH=full]1229703[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1229704[/ATTACH] Yes, they are impressive coins. Images of the coins often have nothing in them to realize the scale. I see them as coins with the diameter of a sestertius and the weight of an as. Here are some of my larger folles with a sestertius of Severus Alexander, diameter of 29 mm and weight of 19 grams, and a US one cent piece for scale. Top center follis of constantius, at 8.8 grams, FIDEWS MILITUM rev, of Galerius at 11.6 grams, SACRA MONET, rev. at bottom left of Diocletian at 8.4 grams, GENIO POPULI, rev. and Maximinus II at 5.5 grams, <i>IOVI CONSERVATORI rev.</i> and probably double struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
