For reference, here's the BM's example, just as spectacular, if a littled dinged in places: Odd choice of reverse (Oriens, the East) for a coin issued in the northwestern tip of the 'roman empire' Report this Post to the Staff

Know nothing about them though. https://www.metaldetectingholidays.com/ Saw this video awhile ago - looks like Valentinian JK3RSBcxaho Edited by travelcoin 04/05/2019 8:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

There have recently been some changes proposed for the UK's 1996 Treasure Act to prevent important objects from slipping through the cracks. As I understand the current law, all individual gold objects more than 300 years old qualify as treasure except gold coins, which must number two or more as a single find. https://www.archaeology.co.uk/artic...ndowners.htm Edited by Kushanshah 04/05/2019 10:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
