[QUOTE="arnoldoe, post: 8178137, member: 72712"][ATTACH=full]1429324[/ATTACH] Another coin that came in the group lot of "plated" coins that just arrived.. Maybe thrown into the group lot since it was assumed to be too light to be a genuine Justinian Solidus at just 3.7 grams without evidence of clipping, but.. The reverse legend is OBXX instead of CONOB Which is on regular solidii "[I]obryzum viginti siliquae[/I] (gold of 20 siliquae)." which was added to lightweight solidii valued at 20 Siliqua - and were possibly minted for for trade with foreigners or as tribute payments..[/QUOTE]
