Title: Roman coin for ID
Post by: Rob Two Spades on September 13, 2017, 09:54:05 PM
Found this stunning coin recently. It's Maximinian, around 300AD but any ideas on the mint? I thought Rome maybe but I can't find it anywhere. Any help much appreciated.

It's a cracking example to have much of the silvering remaining too - maybe there are some more there :)
