    Hey guys, came across this in a lot today. My research has come up with possibly cornelia supera but that seems extremely rare and unlikely, what do you think?

    weight is 1.63g diameter 19mm

    Ah that makes sense, thanks guys, I suspect supera would have been minted of good silver and not so much for salonina

    Not really truth. I've seen some decent AR of Salonina.
    This one of mine is no beauty but I wouldn't say it's bad silver in comparison.

    I have some decent Alexandrian tets AE that I've not had the time to attempt photos of.
