<p>[QUOTE="romismatist, post: 7066006, member: 44106"]Weird but cool! It looks like the coin is silver under all that dark patina and the bust size looks the same as the regular antoninianus, so my guess would be that it was clipped. Still, it was easier to do this in the Middle Ages with the thin silver coins they used then, and more difficult with the thicker antoninianii. Maybe someone in the 4th century found the coin, shaved off some silver and tried to pass the core off as a siliqua???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
