<p>[QUOTE="Voulgaroktonou, post: 3056552, member: 84047"]Dougsmit's overstrike is the most dramatic I have seen, but there are 3-4 examples known of Leontius (695-698) half follis overstrikes on tetrarchic radiates. The Spink Num. Circular had a short article on them some years back. Evidently a small hoard of the earlier coins was found and used for blanks. Attached is a photo of my example, somewhat amateurishly enhanced to show the undertype, and following, a better Leontius to show its detail.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]765980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]765981[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]765982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]765983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
