Description: | This is a rather poor example of a Roman copper alloy Follis of Diocletian (284-305). The coin, struck at a time of currency reform, is perhaps a tad crude ?? in particular the portrait and legend to the obverse is not well executed and the reverse figure standing is again, crude in execution, as is the legend. It is therefore, probably a contemporary forgery.
The rim of the coin is now badly corroded and that in turn has taken much of the legends from both obverse and reverse of the coin. The surface is further corroded and the remaining patina is dark green/brown. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
