Watch List notes:

Eastern European imitative gold quinarius in the name of Clodius, imp clodio avgvs, laureate and draped bust left, rev., concordi, Fortuna standing left with rudder and cornucopia, 2.24g (for similar imitative gold coins see Sergeev, A, Barbarian coins of the Territory between the Balkans and Central Asia, Moscow, 2012, pp. 76-78 – and no. 225 for a quinarius), with original loop for suspension, virtually as struck, apparently unpublished, very rare. Imitative coins like this and in the following two lots are virtually always found either with loops for mounting or with piercings and it may well be that their prime purpose was as coin jewellery rather than as a barbarous currency.
