Mariniana denarius Caritas Clasped hands Sacrificial Implements Fantasy coin102 viewsSold, or rather not sold, because at 61€ it missed the reserve price, on French Ebay in August 2005. The seller guaranteed its authenticity and said it came from a Turkish private colection and was acquired 30-40 years ago. The coin is a complete fantasy piece, I know no denarii of Mariniana and the rev. is an entirely modern invention.
