@galba68.....Very nice coins! I know CM coins are one of your collecting areas so congrats on a couple of good looking additions..
Wonderful coins and huge coingrats! I've nothing that compares, so here are some of my Roman countermarks: You can lightly see the left facing Augustus with a pair of DDs in his face Augustus Hispania, Julia Traducta. 27 B.C.-A.D. 14 Æ 25 (24.9 mm, 10.27 g, 4 h). PERM CAES AVG, bare head left / IVLIA TRAD, in two lines within wreath. Countermarked “DD” (Decreto Decurionum) RPC 108; SNG Copenhagen 459. One of the strangest countermarks you'll see. They stamped around the perimeter of the coin! I've two of these, but have been chasing an unstamped version for a while. Which is proving difficult, as the stamped are easier to aquire then the originals! Germanicus and Drusus LYDIA, Sardes (... or maybe not), Struck CE 23-26? restruck by Asinius Pollio, proconsul of Asia under Caligula, CE 37-38? Æ26, 13.78 gm Obv: ΔPOYΣOΣ KAI ΓEPMANIKOΣ NEIOI ΘEOI ΦIΛAΔEΛΦOI; Germanicus and Drusus seated left on curule chairs, one holding lituus. Rev: ΓAIΩ AΣINNIΩ ΠΩΛΛIΩNI ANΘYΠATΩ; KOINOY/ AΣIAΣ within wreath Ref: RPC 2995, Sear 365 And a slug of a slug, if not THE slugiest slug But for its saving grace; the countermark of Vindex and the people's resistance PR=Populus Romanus - The Roman People. AE 24.2 MM, 6.5 gr. This countermark was used by the rebels in Gaul under the leadership of Julius Vindex during the months of March through June of 68 CE. Used mostly upon dupondii and Asses. Coin appears intentionally slate as these were known to deface and denounce the current powers that be. Ex: CNG
