Argenteus, antoninian and some medieval coins

[Taranis]

Is Diocletian a barbarian's mounting possibly? I don't know, but I never saw one like this yet.

CruMaster: what do you think about the argenteus? Its a barbaric imitation or...?
Because the portrait very simply, and the sign isnt DIOCLETIANVS+AVG just DIOCETIANVS+AVG

Not familar with this one, but looks like an imitation & spelt wrong, but I will get Dad to check the books & report soon.

Very nice! The Antonian is way better than every one i have seen here! And the cupcoins are amazing! You have a forgiving soil there thats for sure!

Here's Cru'Dads thoughts:

'It is clearly not typical of the usual quality strike etc but also depends how much wear is also involved. It is the argenteus AR type of Diocletian with Rev 4 tetrarchs sacrificing before city walls with 6 turrets as in RSC 516 circa AD294. Certainly seems more like a barbarous imitation especially as the Emperor’s name mis-spelled. Unusual, though for that era and thus a fascinating little find.'

I think I'd die if I found something that old and cool. Congrats.
