<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2914904, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;m slightly cheating here because someone else did the hard work of finding most of these die links but my imitative semis(black background) from Spain is part of a die-linked series of at least 8 obverse dies and 10 reverse dies as described in &quot;<a href="https://www.academia.edu/24390186/The_Unofficial_Roman_Republican_Semisses_Struck_in_Spain" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/24390186/The_Unofficial_Roman_Republican_Semisses_Struck_in_Spain" rel="nofollow">The Unofficial Roman Republican Semisses Struck in Spain</a>&quot; by Pere P. Ripollès and the late Richard Witschonke. My coin&#039;s particular die pairing(represented by the added red line) was not listed in the paper but both dies were listed and its obverse die was only known with a single reverse die, so my coin allows both dies to now be linked to this larger series of die links. My gut feeling is that there are probably more links out there waiting to be found as there are many un-linked dies in very similar style to the linked dies, but only time will tell.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]704518[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Full res image of my coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]704520[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
