<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marc Aceton, post: 1991792, member: 72101&quot;]Dear Mat,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The comparison is very good. As coinages of the Gallic empire, which were also issued mainly in western Germany, this coin reminds me to the late adoptive emperor or severan period. The engravers in Trier or Cologne must have been oriented towards examples of this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides my item, there are three other half argentei of Fausta, which all have the same avers inscription &quot;<b>FAVSTAE NOBILISSIMAE FEMINAE</b>&quot; and are being associated with marriage coinages. Obviously, all four known half argentei are minted in Trier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to find photos of two of them in the internet and the third item is illustrated in &quot;Funde und Ausgrabungen im Bezirk Trier&quot;, Heft (Engl. booklet) 18. All of them have the divinity Venus depicted on the reverse and my coin is of a clearly different obverse die with different facial features. </p><p><br /></p><p>Greetings,</p><p><br /></p><p>Marc</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN01204/AN01204285_001_l.jpg?width=304" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.monetaecivilta.it/storia/images/costantino/37.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
