<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7379872, member: 75482"]The nominal value of the late AE4 was almost certainly greater than their intrinsic value. I suspect the idea was to get passable round-ish coins, which simple quartering would not have produced. Here is a portion of the plate I referenced above. Note 149: "Specimen offcut from cutting down Magnentian Salus majorinae, Ham Hill; Somerset County Museum, Taunton". Number 148 is similar to the op: "Magnentian Salus type, cut down to the size of Theodosian small aes. Lydney; Collection of Lord Bledisloe". [ATTACH=full]1285060[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
