<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7761610, member: 19463"]Of all the emperors there are probably the most 'possibly' unofficial coins of Magnentius. There are coins I 'know' are unofficial and coins I 'believe' are official but there are just as many that could go either way on any given day. I am not commenting on which of mine are which in my opinion at this second. I am wrong something on the order of half the time. I lied; there are a couple with comments. This first one is definitely unofficial but it only 'may' be Magnentius. I prefer to call it Decentius by virtue of counting the bumps (Magnentius has one more letter). If official and Magnentius, it would be very rare; if Decentius it would be unique. It makes no difference since it is not even close to official. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330797[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Overstruck on Constantine II</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1330789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1330790[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this is Magnentius but it does not make any list in the literature.
