<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 2832312, member: 89266&quot;]I have this &quot;blinded-eye appeal&quot; Aureus.</p><p>I won it on CNG auction many years ago. It&#039;s my only aureus (well, I have a Titus&#039; aureus fourrée), but what I really like about this is precisely the two holes and the posterior addition of gold to counterbalance his weight. All of this in Antiquity. I wonder if this coin wasn&#039;t&nbsp; hung on the belt of some barbarian chief or warrior during the Migration Period? Or what it represented. Is undoubtedly a very ugly piece, perhaps worth only the weight of gold, but what matters? It had the historical value which, I believe, goes beyond the numismatic itself.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]667881[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]667882[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here&#039;s the link on CNG research:</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=150585" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=150585" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=150585</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
