Excellent pick up!
The monogram looks very similar to that shown in RIC X.
At less than €10 Euro, you "stole" it! Hehe :)
Bargain hunting at its best.
Well spotted, well done.

Poemenius,
I did not know about these!
Thanks for this VERY IMPORTANT information.
Carpe Diem indeed.

Walter

(at least the other three pieces [two Gallienus, and
Constantine] are worth the price paid, so no great loss).

That's what I thought...
I guess it's fake Serbian
I already have experience

For the price I can keep it as a curiosity ...
I was waiting for confirmation of my conjecture.

my question is:
If you do not know what you are buying, WHY would you pay 300 USD for something you do not understand???????

You don't need to ask.  Please make the fake coin report yourself.  It is easy if you try.  You do, however, need to crop and combine the photos first.
