[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 4748740, member: 59677"]Everything that went into the manufacture of those two objects is different. The technology of mining, metal refining, preparing "blanks or flans", die making, die materials, stamping of the coins (hand vs. steam), etc. is completely different over the 1,500 years.
