Description

UNCERTAIN GERMANIC TRIBES, Pseudo-Imperial coinage. Late 3rd-early 4th centuries. 'Quinarius' (Gold, 15 mm, 3.05 g, 12 h), 'Derived Gordian Group C'. ONΛC OCSIV Bare imperial head to left. Rev. IOZ OCΛ Uncertain figure standing front, head to left, holding flower (?) in his/her right hand and long palm frond in his/her left. With original suspension loop attached. Very fine.

From the Aurum Barbarorum Collection.

Later imitations such as this one sheer off more and more in style from the original 'Gordian-group': the obverse head is still quite reminiscent of lot 1873 above, but the reverse deity is not recognizable anymore and the legends are totally blundered.

Question about this lot?
