Theodosius II cross on reverse
« on: July 19, 2013, 11:29:09 AM »
This coin seems to be an unofficial coin or maybe it is just plain sloppy engraving. The mintmark, which should be SMKB, has an X (or an odd K) instead of an M.  The Vandals also minted this type, but they are usually a bit more crude.
