<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4937780, member: 97383"]R.C., Thanks for posting your two folles <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I was under the impression that the turreted crown on folles was a sign of early manufacture, but your Diocletian follis negates that idea <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I find the <b>II </b>before the <b>TR</b> interesting also. Is the <b>II</b> a designation for the 2nd officina or does it have another meaning <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? I think that Diocletian era folles presents a real challenge for anyone collecting these coins. For too long these coins have been neglected for serious study by the experts & collectors <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Hopefully a comprehensive study of these coins will become available to collectors at a reasonable price in the not too distant future <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I find the [B]II [/B]before the [B]TR[/B] interesting also. Is the [B]II[/B] a designation for the 2nd officina or does it have another meaning o_O?
