<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 7761507, member: 10613&quot;]I just got this unofficial Magnentius coin. The style is not too bad and the spelling is close. The size is is also about the same as official coins (a bit bigger than average if the seller recorded it right), though the weight is lower. This one might have passed through regular circulation as long as nobody really looked at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330769[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Magnentius</p><p>circa A.D. 350-3</p><p>23mm&nbsp; &nbsp; 3.8g</p><p>D N MAGNEN-TIVS P AVG; diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>[FELICITAS REI]-PVBLICE; Emperor standing left holding Victory on globe in right hand and labarum.</p><p>In ex. •RPLG</p><p>cf.
