Message:: [QUOTE="singig, post: 4562886, member: 93672"]I forgot to post two coins with Draco , the first one is a little fragile and I keep it in a more protected place, even if is broken it still preserve nice details. It is also special for the fact that it is part of large hoard with an interesting story(its short version):   This hoard of 4100 antoniniani was discovered in 1995 in eastern France - Saint-Jean-d’Ardières. This very large find it starts with the first series of antoniniani struck under the reign of Caracalla and ends in 252 AD under the joint reign of Trebonianus Gallus and Volusian. The coinages of Gordian III and Philip I form more than 80 % of the hoard. The coins were cleaned and studied by experts from National Library of France, they managed to publish a final study in 2013.... 20 years after the discovery the hoard was returned to owners(a constructor and the land owner ), they divided the hoard into two equal parts. In 2016 the land owner sold his part at auction. At that moment my coin was almost intact , but unfortunately during the shipping (possible) was broken ....and someone glued it pretty well , I'm the third or fourth owner.[ATTACH=full]1129523[/ATTACH]And the second coin, which was recently purchased:[ATTACH=full]1129524[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
