Tiny Roma She Wolf Unofficial imitation - Found Yorkshire, England.This is a tiny little coin weighing 0.5g and less than 10mm across.
It's a metal detecting find not far from a well known roman settlement in Yorkshire, England.
An unofficial imitation of the much larger copper-alloy AE 3 of She-wolf and twins reverse type.
Possibly copying the type minted in Trier (some of the Lyon types are similar too).
These were minted to possibly alleviate a shortage of small change and were at least condoned by officials.
The detail of the fur is astounding, considering someone had to manufacture a Die, with out the aid of magnification. The eyes, fur and teats can be seen quite clearly. Romulus and Remus can be seen reaching up to the she wolf. Two stars can be seen above the Wolf.
My photography, though improving does not do this wonderful little coin Justis. lorry66
