Alexander 75 viewsImpossible die links between different mints and emperors, some of these are published modern hand cut die fakes.
More die links exist. The problem ist not only that they are die linked, the problem ist that they share the same style especially if it comes to the depiction of Zeus on the reverse. And same style would mean same artist but that would be impossible if we consider that they are made at different times and mints and for different emperors.
I sadly can not add all die links because they are too many!
There are many more die links to other dies envolved with same style.
