Recovered Coins - Roman

Below are actual photos of the Roman coins that I've recovered in the United Kingdom. I have included detailed sample photos for reference if my recovered item was in rough shape. All of these are "natural" finds. I have never participated in a seeded hunt.

ROMAN - Barbarous radiate copper coin 250-350 AD - many variants

Barbarous radiates were issued privately primarily during the Crisis of the Third Century (c. 259–274 AD) in the western provinces. They are not generally regarded as forgeries since they were rarely deceptive because they were smaller and cruder than standard issues. They probably functioned as small change. (Wikipedia)
