Context
This piece, being at least double the weight of regular Aureus pieces, would have been a Double Aureus, also known as a Binio. This piece, unlike most others, had also been cast rather than struck. The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary. The vast majority of Aureus and Quinarius pieces from the Uncertain Germanic tribes are either holed or have a suspension loop attached. This implies that, while these were coins, these imitations were mainly meant for jewelry rather than to be spent.
