Very strange cross AE4, bust left
« on: July 06, 2017, 01:18:19 AM »
Got this one in an ebay lot almost two years ago, and it's been a real stumper. Can't tell if it's a degraded copy of the CONCORDIA AVGGG type, but there is a -VO- in the legend. I think only Hilderic issued a cross nummis with a left-facing bust, but this one is clean shaven and in the wrong style.

Measures 8x9mm and 0.59g

this coin seems unofficial. The style is crude and the legend looks like gibberish.

I agree with Victor.
