<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 7885318, member: 99554&quot;]Another possibility was brought in the last years: It was not always the coins themselves that were moving about but the people that were minting them. It required a minimum of effort to set up an irregular coining outfit and a minimum of space to transport a few dies around the landscape. Is it possible that the makers of the so-called barbarous imitations were itinerant artisans, travelling around and offering to recoin scrap metal for a percentage. So even if evidences in the form of chopped ingots, blanks, metalworking debris are sometimes discovered in a certain area, it doesn&#039;t automatically mean that there was&nbsp; &quot;permanent &quot; mint in this place. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my most stylish imitation of this period; talented engraver but poorly educated, orthographic difficulties and deity problem (it&#039;s Providentia not Victoria).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1360067[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
