<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LukeGob, post: 24491470, member: 73885&quot;]I got my first Ostrogothic silver coin the other day, Inasta, auction 105. It&#039;s a 1/4 Siliqua of Athalaric in the name of either Justin or Justinian. I love it so much! Tiny. The pics don&#039;t do it justice; blowing it up to size means blowing up all the tiny defects that aren&#039;t too bad in-hand. Like when HD TV was new &amp; the talking heads weren&#039;t quite ready for it. I think it&#039;s in the name of Justin; there&#039;s some pieces of letters left on the R-side Ob-Leg &amp; that seems to fit better, but who knows. Not too bad for €65. Especially since I was already (hoping/determined to be) getting other lots too, so paying the shipping regardless. </p><p><br /></p><p>0.6 g</p><p>12mm X 11mm</p><p>180°</p><p>526-527 or 527-534</p><p>Ob: DN IVSTI-(NVS AVC / NIAN AVC) </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Diad. bust R. in &quot;Ostrogothic&quot; garment (I like Hahn&#039;s phrasing of the obverse&#039;s description)</p><p>Re: DN / ATHAL/ARICVS / REX</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 4-lines w/in Wr.</p><p>-Metlich, C.O.I.: 57.b (Justin) or 59 (Justinian)</p><p>-Wroth, Vandals: II.Athalaric-35 th 40</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1551596[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1551597[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1551598[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
