<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7804840, member: 84905&quot;]I partly agree. The reverse shows a strangely stylized Victoria and the reverse legend is completely blundered and misplaced. Yet, the obverse legend is spelled correctly and the bust is of fine official-looking style.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is not a million miles away from these, supposedly official Constantinopel issues:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3488067" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3488067" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3488067</a></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3482320" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3482320" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3482320</a></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7880641" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7880641" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7880641</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, a lot more research on these coins is needed. For example, could the peculiar lettering with the strong serifs and missing A-bars be indicative of a certain region or even mint?&nbsp; Can the style of the &quot;dancing&quot; victoria be matched to any other coins of that period?</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: My coin is almost certainly die-identical to the Italo Vecchi coin. However, I still don&#039;t buy their attribution to an &quot;Italian mint&quot; under Gothic leaders Thiudimir and Vidimir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
