<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marc Aceton, post: 1990461, member: 72101&quot;]Here is <u>the</u> gem of my collection with a genuine provenance. The coin is a unique silver coin of Fausta. It was most probably issued as marriage coin and is one of the very rare coins excavated in Germany and whose find spot is clearly documented. Since the coin is indeed pretty small - the diameter is 14 - 14.5 mm and the weight is 1.07 gram -, I intentionally uploaded just a small image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fausta, Trier mint, struck 307 AD, silver half argenteus</p><p><b>FAVSTAE NOBILISSIMAE FEMINAE</b> draped bust left</p><p><b>IVNONI REGINAE</b>, <b>TR</b> Juno standing left holding patera and sceptre, at feet to left, peacock</p><p><br /></p><p>found in Trier, former &quot;Hopfengarten&quot; in 1984</p><p>described in &quot;Funde und Ausgrabungen im Bezirk Trier&quot;, Heft 18, Trier 1986</p><p>exhibited in the &quot;Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier&quot; as a loan</p><p>purchased from Zlatko Plesa in January 2014</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100080996@N04/12233125375/in/photolist-jCZXYK-nh6p6W-nLbiXN-9X821D-8o8mVB-owe7w9-dD7Suf-oeENuy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100080996@N04/12233125375/in/photolist-jCZXYK-nh6p6W-nLbiXN-9X821D-8o8mVB-owe7w9-dD7Suf-oeENuy" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5536/12233125375_1bbb3a00bc_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
