<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 4198775, member: 84905&quot;]I just had a good look at the lettering. The coin is probably not from official dies. The rendering of some letters is very strange indeed. As I wrote before, the letter R is sometimes an A (with and without square bar) or an N. The R on official coins also looks strange sometimes, but the forger probably took it a bit too far.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I bought this coin in a (non-numismatic) auction, I took it home and stashed it away, since I don&#039;t really like subaerate coins. However, on second thoughts, this is actually quite a nice thing, given that I will probably never own an official solidus of Julian. Also, I am quite convinced that the piece is an ancient forgery made in the 4th century to deceive maybe by mixing it in among a larger sum of official coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
