This coin checks all the boxes

I purchased this coin simply because it's a brockage. However it checks a lot of my coin collection boxes:



Brockage Coin: Check



Moesia Superior, Viminacium Coin: Check



Gordian III Coin: Check

That's an attractive patina and that's quite an impressive array of coins of Gordian III.

 

Thank you. My Gordian Collection photo hasn't been updated in a while. I have another 50-75 coins to add too it. Perhaps I can carve out some time this fall.

 

Nice coin, and a fantastic collection of Gordian III

 

Thank you sir. I have admired your collections and posts for many years.

 

@Alegandron, I am pretty sure I see BEO on the right obverse of your coin:
Q. Fabius Labeo. Denarius. Rome. 124 BC. LABEO - ROMA, Helmeted head of Roma right; below, X (mark of value). Rev. Q FABI, Jupiter driving fast quadriga right, hurling thunderbolt and holding scepter and reins; below horses, rostrum. Crawford 273/1. Babelon (Fabia) 1. Sydenham 532.
