[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 8274521, member: 99554"]I trust you on this one Ben, I’m not in my area of collecting at all. But 1/2 apple is still an apple, isn’t it ? ;) About the other coins that weren’t discussed: 3) [B]VSV [/B]could means “Usualis” or “Vota Soluta V”. If “usualis” is intended, could it be that this coin was a denarius [I]communis[/I]? The mark could also be half the value of the Aurelianus; it could indicate the title in silver, or 2.5%. The other theory is that the laureate coin corresponds to 5 sesterces, mark indicated on certain denarii and it would then be worth 1 1/4 denarii. 4) [B]KV[/B] Harl (1985) proposed 20 (K) sestertii = 5 (V) denarii. But some wonder whether this is a mark of value at all… 5) [B]N [/B]Maybe just indicating [I]nummus[/I] …?[/QUOTE]
