<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 3179711, member: 74834&quot;]Welcome to this nice and lively forum, Frans! I take it you are a fellow continental European (or even a compatriot of mine). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good to know! I would like to know where my piece fits in the catalog of Philippe Ferrando. It&#039;s the same type, but a variety: third officina (T from <i>Tertia</i>), not the first (P from <i>Prima</i>). There are some other minor differences, too. My coin is smaller, but the bust of the emperor is relatively larger. It looks as if the figure on the eagle is looking backwards, whereas that of [USER=74818]@britannia40[/USER] apparently looks forward. I could be mistaken, naturally. </p><p><br /></p><p>But both coins have the same whitish metal that should be silver on its surface, flaking in the same untidy way. Nice to compare these.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]819233[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius I, BI argenteus, Arles, 319-20. Obv. IMP LICI NIVS AVG. Laureate and cuirassed bust right. Rev.
