WINNER #1
My first favorite is the Pseudo-Imperial Tremissis Gold Coin, discovered by Mark V. from the Netherlands.
Mark shares his story. “This is my third year of metal detecting, the first two years I’ve used a Garrett Ace 250, and last year I used the Garrett AT Pro. And with this detector I found lots of great stuff, such as medieval coins and brooches (fibula’s). But now I have found near my home town Harlingen in the Netherlands a very tiny beautiful golden coin. The coin Weight is 1.45 gram and the diameter is 14 millimeters. The coin is called an Pseudo-Imperial Tremissis and it is probably one of the first coins that was struck here in the northern part of Holland. Around the year 550 A.D. The coin is unique, this is the only one of this type that there is. The gold percentage is 88%. That is very high for coins from this period. Next month the coin will be displayed in the museum of my home town Harlingen! Maybe a once in a lifetime find! Thanks!”
Thank you Mark. What a beautiful coin with remarkable detail!
Mark V. WINS a Pro-Pointer AT!
