[QUOTE="Steven Michael Gardner, post: 3725483, member: 97508"]Thank you all for your interest & comments: Wildwinds indicates the is the Teier Mint: I found this on the internet, apparently "Teier" was/is a city in the Germany region thus this coin is a city commemorative of Teier if my logic is sound?? The historical record describes the Roman Empire subduing the Treveri in the 1st century bc and establishing Augusta Treverorum about 16 bc.[10] The name distinguished it from the empire's many other cities honoring the first emperor Augustus. The city later became the capital of the province of Belgic Gaul; after the Diocletian Reforms, it became the capital of the prefecture of the Gauls, overseeing much of the Western Roman Empire. In the 4th century, Trier was one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire with a population around 75,000 and perhaps as much as 100,000. The Franks seized Trier from Roman administration in 459. In 870, it became part of Eastern Francia, which developed into the Holy Roman Empire.[/QUOTE]
