<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4753683, member: 87200&quot;]Around the years 311-313 an odd coin was introduced with a radiate crown of the later tetrachs. Here is an example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.ma-shops.com/cgb/pic/brm_314511.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They are around 3 grams and 17-18 mm in size. This example is Maximinus Daia from Trier. Does anyone know the silver content of such coins? I have searched some but can&#039;t find much information about the denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am curious as to why they were struck and where they fit into the monetary system since the fine silver argenteus had long since disappeared and by now the &quot;reduced follis&quot; (bronze with a silver wash) was being struck. Thanks in advance...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
