Message:: [QUOTE="seth77, post: 2286386, member: 56653"]The Cherson Val III is probably the scarcest. It's also the most interesting as it was quite likely issued for local circulation in Crimea only, similar to how Maximus of Spain had his AE2's and AE4's issued at Barcino (see my post about a Maiorina AE2 minted probably under his rule here: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-maiorina-of-maximus-of-barcino.269168/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-maiorina-of-maximus-of-barcino.269168/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-maiorina-of-maximus-of-barcino.269168/</a>) for circulation in the area he briefly controlled between 410 and 411. Both are interesting examples of how the Roman world becomes fragmented both politically and economically. But back to Val from Cherson, as far as I have learned his coins for the issue are considerably rarer than the ones of Theodosius II. I had a couple a years ago a fragment of one of his Maiorinae (maybe 1/3 of a coin) that sold at auction for about 50$)[/QUOTE]
