<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2417715, member: 76544&quot;]Just got back from vacation and caught this post. As everyone pointed out it certainly is a monogram of Theodahad and I assume you believe this to be silver (shouldn&#039;t stick to a magnet). There are half siliquas with this monogram paired with the obverse bust of Justinian with his name around (DN IVSTINIAN AVG or something like that). The problem is that these types are around 11 to 12mm and yours is a tiny 5mm. That would probably make this a barbarous copy of a Theodahad half siliqua. There is a bronze issue with the same obv/rev that is smaller, around 8 to 9mm but even that is a lot bigger than your example. Just from looking at the pic and from my own experience this is probably a contemporary issue. In my humble opinion not a whole lot of value but certainly a nice ancillary piece to an Ostrogothic collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
