Sir Ferrari Pillar of the Community United States 671 Posts	Posted 11/09/2008 9:53 pm Could you possibly take a picture without the flash? It would make the letters eaiser to read. Also, something about this coin doen't seem right. It is too...perfect and uniform. Don't take this as a final verdict though, it might be just a feeling. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 11/10/2008 04:48 am It appears to be a silver coin of some kind (probably an argentus) of Maximianus, but I can't find a specific example with this design. Obverse: MAXIMIANVS AVG, laureate portrait Reverse: CONCORDIA AVGG. I'm not sure who the figure on the reverse is, but it doesn't appear to be the "usual" appearance of Concord. It looks similar to Sol holding the head of Serapis, as seen on this coin from the same mint (but a different emperor), only more feminine. These same pictures have been posted on FORVM; the poster there is fairly sure they're fakes. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/10/2008 10:02 am Hello and welcome to the forum, I agree with Sap this is a coin of Maximianus, I also have not been able to locate a match on the reverse. It's hard to tell from your pictures, but if this coin is a fake it's a very good one. How did you come by it? Report this Post to the Staff
