    I think the Egyptian tets are considered billon, but yes, they’re smaller and bronze-ier looking. It isn’t wrong to say they’re “mostly bronze”, I suppose.

    I haven’t yet owned a bigger silver piece like a cistophorus or a provincial tet like that. Nice coin. Very handsome.

    The coin was not selected by the winner of Giveaway #84.

    So it becomes one of the three prize options in Giveaway #85.

    I forgot that I had two denarii of Trajan. On both pieces, the personification Victory is basking in her glory. Here is the first piece. It dates from the year 100.

    I bought this one because it was more attractive. It dates from the year 101.
