Minimissimi
« on: July 02, 2016, 11:42:13 am »
Hello, im looking to an acquired stack of minimissimi. This coin is particular because of his lettering. Ok, its probably an illiterate engraver but it look like older language. The reverse, can someone tell me the original copied coin? Even in what sense character is for you? Weight 1,10 grs for 10 mm

The obverse seems to be mimicking an Antoninianus due to the radiate portrait, and Tetricus is the most likely candidate. It's tough to assign this to a particular reverse type, but I see what is maybe a cornucopia?

Perhaps someone else will be able to spot something more characteristic.
