Thus coin has just arrived. I thought it would be interesting to see how many of you can explain why you think I may have bought it.... I will not give a description or attribution though I have both. I will give weight and dimensions. Weight - 2.86 gms. Size 19.23 mm. So..... why? Martin
I'd say the missing D as well. Is the reverse legend break significant? If not those then my 3rd guess is the slice of pizza under the star.
Spot on. Denarius Obv:– IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAN AVG, Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right Rev:– P M TR P II COS, Fortuna standing left, holding rudder set on globe and cornucopia; star to left Minted in Antioch, Issue 3, A.D. 223 Reference(s) – RIC IV 268 var (obverse legend, normal legend is C). RSC 237 var RIC makes mention of a coin of the same type from the previous issue (Issue 2) being known with ALEXAN but I cannot find this in BMCRE. Another example but from a different die pair sold by CNG in 2009 - https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=152502 Martin
