Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 12:18 pm Hello, Can you help me identifying this siliqua? Its not mine (yet) and I want to be sure where its minted (allthough its hard to see because the mint marks are almost gone. Sellers info: MDPS in ex.(is this right?) Also the diameter is only 12mm, perhaps half siliqua (normally 14mm which is possible because we cant read the legend anymore) thanks for helping me out Edited by Dutchgulden 01/18/2014 12:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 2:06 pm This is actually a siliqua of the emperor Arcadius, and the mint mark is indeed MDPS. I have an identical coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 2:19 pm Yeah, id wait for an unclipped one. There was a coin on ebay a while back that consisted of nothing more than the face of the emperor. Report this Post to the Staff
