Notes:	Feb 15, 10 - This is one of a number of coins currently being sold as part of a hoard "found a few kilometres to the south of town Smederova [in Eastern Serbia] in a depth of three metres. Since there’s no oxygen in this depth, no harmful corrosion could occur. That’s the reason why all coins - as usual for hoard coins - have an extremely fine, perfect condition. Every coin is extremely fine !" These coins are all modern copies. The mintmark in the reverse exergue on this type was blundered by the modern copier of the coin. I can't be certian id it is dotSMHA, dotSMHgamma, SMHA or SMHgamma. Sold to Carl Zipfel on 2/13/2010
