England Deus Hunt nets Roman Gold...UPDATE!

[unearth]

Update to my gold find in England. It's not Roman, but a Visigoth coin copying a Roman coin according to Dr Sam Moorhead National Finds Adviser for Iron Age and Roman coins at the British Museum.

My coin is a Gold tremissis, attributed to the Visigoths in Gaul, copying a coin of the Roman emperor Julius Nepos (AD 474-5) struck at Rome, dating to c. AD 475-500. Obverse: D N IVL NE - POS P F AVG; Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed right, with probable diadem above bust. Reverse: Staurogram in Wreath. Mintmark: COMOB. RIC X, p. 461, no. 3766var. RIC 3766 has a cross above the bust. Incomplete, possibly because a mount has been removed.

From what I can find out, this is a very rare coin! Love metal detecting!

You killed it on that hunt. Can't wait to get back to those fields again and see what other treasures await. The Deus is a force to be reckoned with.
