Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 7:31 pm What is the weight in grams and the diameter in mm, please ? Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 04:07 am The diameter is like any other carolingian coin. This one is from ex elsen auction. Unfortunately with getting of the green on the spots it got some damage. I did not want that the green spots bit into the coin. Anyway I did buy a scale for the weight. The other one does not work properly. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7962 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 06:55 am It seems that some variations in the legend are known. Here is one with IVOOVICVS: https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...c5a0bd88b27a Provenance of this one is also an Elsen auction of some years ago. In its last sale the unusual legend did not bring a premium, though the coin is not in the best condition. Interesting coin, and nice condition!
