Divus Claudius, Consecratio, Eagle (Imitation)Hispanic of Gallic illegal mint, ~274-~285. 16 mm, 1.58 g, 180º.
Obverse: DIVO CLAVDIO Radiate bust of Claudius.
Reverse: CONSECRATIO Eagle.
The style is remarkably accurate for a "barbarous" imitation, with legible letters and detailed figures; the small size and weight, however, gave it away. This type is often described as a Hispanic imitation, though they were more likely produced in Gaul. Study of local hoard finds indicates they were introduced in Spain during Aurelian's time and remained in circulation until the end of Probus' reign.Manuel
