vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/14/2015 1:45 pm Thanks all! It is an detection find. It has been bend back when it got found. It is indeed a pricey one. I like it alot because these period there were not much coins with an face on it. Mostly an cross and temple or karolusmonogram. You probably found on cgb.fr ? I compared it with the other denars from this type. And all has small differences of the face Report this Post to the Staff
