whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 10/21/2021 10:16 am It looks like a Late Roman Period coin, but was struck by Ermanaric (296-374)? The retrograde inscr. reads "M A nR I C", Small at 14mm and a couple of grams-a Germanic Denarius? Ermanaric has been compared to being the Alexander the Great of the Goths... is this coin an Ermanaric issue? Any help is appreciated!
