<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 5144359, member: 44357&quot;]My favorites are your XXXIIX and the Kroton. On the XXXIIX: there aren&#039;t many coins with this type of numeral but it would be a marginal time savings. I wonder if it was used elsewhere in tablets/inscriptions where space was a premium? Or, it might just be a lazy engraver wanting to save a couple strokes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Kroton is an interesting piece as the lines look intentional, especially on the reverse. Perhaps someone in antiquity doodling on their coin with a knife to pass the time?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
