[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2060533, member: 42773"]I'm glad someone else is interested in fourée mules. I would also love to know the story behind these coins. Were dies stolen and combined in random ways? Most of the dies used to mint these coins look official in style, rather than barbarous. Is it possible they were officially but clandestinely produced? So many questions, so few answers. Here is one from my collection that combines types of Titus and Domitian... [B] Titus(?)/Domitian [/B] Fourée Denarius, 19.5mm, 2.85g, 5h, Unknown mint: 82 or after. Obv.: [T CAES]AR IMP VESPASIAN; Laureate head right. Rev.: TR POT IMP II COS VIII DES VIIII PP; Fortuna standing left, holding rudder and cornucopia. Reference: Obverse possibly RIC II 225 (p. 40), reverse RIC II 32 (p. 157). Notes: an impossible obverse/reverse combination in the official issues. [ATTACH=full]379873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
