<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3028353, member: 74282&quot;]So I&#039;ve been re-reading old papers and seeking out any new papers and images I can find regarding the Eastern European imitations of Roman Republic denarii and I came across a particular imitation in M. Torbagyi&#039;s &quot;Die Münzprägung Der Eravisker&quot; that I knew rang a bell but I couldn&#039;t remember where from until I came across this thread again this morning. A coin from what appears to be the same dies is illustrated as B/6d. Most of the coins illustrated in the paper are from the Lágymános hoard found in Hungary and I would agree are likely Eraviscan but B/6d is instead from the coin cabinet of the Hungarian National Museum and unfortunately has no find spot recorded. As the scope of the museum&#039;s collection spans an area much larger than Hungary&#039;s modern borders(far into Romania and other bordering countries) it&#039;s quite possible it was found outside of Hungary itself, so unfortunately we&#039;re not any closer to being able to say with any real certainty which group created it. At any rate, it&#039;s a very interesting coin and made all the more interesting now that a die match is known and that the die match is serrate while yours is not, which is not extremely surprising as these groups were somewhat inconsistent in that regard but it&#039;s an interesting footnote.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below I&#039;ve attached scans of the relevant sections of Torbagyi. PM me if you want a scan of the whole thing. Also note, &quot;Unbekannter Fundort&quot; just means &quot;unknown findspot&quot;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]754331[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]754332[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
