Wow, the "reworked" coin is numismatically practically worthless in my view.

Ex Clarence S. Bement Collection, Naville & Cie VIII, 1924, Lot 772. See::

Same coin as this one (after smoothing, tooling and repatination):

The claim of a "riverine" patina thus appears to be a farce.

... under "Various Vandals", Vandals for Justinian

This is a later Ostrogothic nummus using a variation of the Theoderic monogram. The Odovacar monogram has no lower letter O and no letter R. Also on Odovacar nummi the obverse legend should not start with DN ... .

Tejas554 10. Apr. 2018, 20:12

This coin cannot be attributed to Odovacar. The Odovacar monogram has no lower letter O. The bust is also wrong. This coin is an African (Vandalic?) nummus. See here: http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/monograms.htm

The correct Crawford number is Crawford 72/4

Overstruck on jeton for Jean Cools, Treasurer at Brussels, 1677, with reference Dugniolle 4381.

The reverse shows the monogram of Athalaric:

This version of the monogram is otherwise only known from silver coins.

The letter "M" in COMOB was probably not intended. The engraver seemed to have corrected an engraving error and inadvertently creating an "M" . The mint mark is probably the regular CONOB.

Zenon died in 491 and thus did not defeat Odovacer in 493. Instead, it was Theoderic who defeated Odovacer.

The eagle should be directed to the left not the right. Its style is also very different from the official issues. This coin may be a contemporary imitation, i.e. an unofficial issue.

Tejas554 8. Apr. 2018, 23:05

This coin is unlike any 5-nummi piece of the period. It is almost certainly a modern forgery.

Tejas554 4. Apr. 2018, 15:16

Apparently a modern fake:

The mint is Rome (not Constantinople). The coin was issued by the Gothic King Theoderic.

Tejas554 4. Apr. 2018, 13:45

Should read "from the Ostrogothic King Witiges" not "Visigothic"

Tejas554 4. Apr. 2018, 13:36

Should read "Ostrogothic king Witiges" not "Visigothic"

Tejas554 3. Apr. 2018, 20:32

This coin is a modern forgery. Several examplars from the same dies have been sold on ebay and in regular auctions.

Tejas554 3. Apr. 2018, 20:29

The bust is completely wrong and the monogram is certainly not that of Odovacar. Most likely this is a modern forgery.

Tejas554 3. Apr. 2018, 20:28

The coin looks highly suspicious. In my view it is a modern forgery.

Tejas554 3. Apr. 2018, 20:28

This coins is almost certainly a modern forgery. It belongs to a large an diverse group of fake nummi of late antiquity.

POTOSI. And probably the BEST Potosi, Luis I monogram I have ever seen! Sadly it was listed as a Lima....Wish I had seen this when it was for sale.

CaptainMyCaptain 30. Mar. 2018, 22:47

This is Philip V. Luis I is 1725 only for Lima. The easiest way to note the Luis I monogram, is the letter D in the monogram, as well there is no horizontal bar across the monogram as there is with the issues of Philip V. Hope that helps.

La base Siliquae a référencé deux autres exemplaires de coins de droit et de revers différents, ce qui laisse penser à une émission assez conséquente, mais passée inaperçue au moment de l'écriture du RIC.
