<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2766998, member: 74282&quot;]Excellent pickup! I&#039;ve been waiting for the right example of one of these Eraviscan coins for a while. If you ever have a chance, I recommend picking up Essays Hersh where Freeman&#039;s study of these types was published.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had an interesting conversation with [USER=19615]@Volodya[/USER] about these a while back and was fascinated by one of the things he pointed out. The Eravisci seemed to have used a relatively small number of dies until they completely fell apart, so you see tons of die matches among their coins. Some of the other neighboring tribes on the other hand used a large number of dies but struck significantly fewer coins per die such that it is rather difficult to find die matches. I am honestly unsure if this should be attributed to different techniques used to make the dies, different attitudes towards die wear or something else, but it adds an interesting depth to these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
