Forgeries based on the 1973 Sirmium gold hoard. 2.

Here are a few examples of dies and forgeries based on solidi and multiples from the hoard. These are just a few of the ones I have identified.

The dies posted by Din X are invaluable for this enterprise. I do hope thatDin X will see this and respond.

The ones I own are these, on most the iron frame got lost, I assume the frame is to mount them for striking or pressing.

Well, these casts in Srem are rather ugly. They should obtain some Lipanoff products instead...  :P

Many thanks Din X! Very helpful! I need to go through all the images. A few are not sharp. If you own those dies, is there any chance you can take new individual photos of those dies?  If not, I can photoshop the images, but sharp individual photos would be ideal.

My intention is to use the photos in my planned paper. Please let me know if this is OK with you.

Am I correct thinking that you bought the dies on eBay in 2015? Do you have any idea where other dies may be located?

Questions, questions ... Hoping for your patience.

Many thanks! I will post more here when I have begun to compile the results. The Congress is in September (I think).

I swear if Din X did not exist, we would have to invent him.  His collection and knowledge are a wonder and wonderful.  Thank you!
