Collection Agrippa “Local imitations”

Here are overview pictures of most of the local imitations I was able to collect in the past 21 years.
Seeing the pictures again I have for some now doubts if it are “Locals” so will go through them again soon.

Feel free to ask for individual pictures and details.

The last pictures are from a lot of 100 pieces I was able to get in 2007. In this lot are some great die matches.

What an impressive collection Jos. It’ll take me days to analyze every examples there. At first sight, there are a few Victorinus so close to the real thing…(CONSACRATIO + INVICTUS). I also really like your (2) Postumus PAX with the V in the field…( to be continued)…

I think I found an obverse die match with one of your coins…but with a different reverse. What do you think about it ?

Think you are right



Good find!

I forgot: my coin is also a double die match with a specimen in the Cunetio Hoard (#2953:2). So there is a link with yours too !

wahou ! Elle est très impressionnante ta collection !
La toute première m'a fait sursauter
Il y a des hybrides interessantes

Merci. First one is indeed a great piece coming from a great collection and person.
Here it is in all his glory




The last one is also quite interesting:



plated mule with the rev. coming from an Ant. of Trebonianus Gallus (251–253) RIC 31, C. 17.
Weight 2,93 g.

Some of the new local imitations I have added to the collection:





Victorinus - FIDES MILITVM, E in right field
Quintillis reverse?

Similar to a example I already had in my collection

Tetricus I - PAX AVGVSTI; A in left field
Gallienus reverse?

Similar to a example I already had in my collection

Belles découvertes, bravo !
