<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 4973307, member: 75143&quot;]My most interesting coin is an incredibly fine barbarous imitation of Constantines VLPP type.</p><p><br /></p><p>this is interesting to me because unlike many of the crudely produced ones, this coin shows some very fine artistry.</p><p>Many barbs were produced by untrained artisans, and not artists - explaining the poor artistic quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>my hupothesis is that a local Celtic artist took his own artistic liberties in creating the die for this coin. The legends are blundered, the figures inaccurate, but it showcases a certain level of what I consider to be “fine art.” I’m certain the celator was proud of his product.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1195207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
