    Although the text on the coin is legible, I cannot assign the officinae mark.
    It's an ae4, minted in Antiochia.
    obv: DNIULIANU-SNOBCAES, rev: SPESREI-PUBLICE
    1.96 gr , 16.40 mm. mm:AN"N"

    LRBC: 2639 ( gives only letter A )
    What is the officinae?
    All help and suggestions are welcome.
    Please feel free to show your coins with legible but unknown mintmark.
    Have a nice Easter!

    RIC lists 15 officina, including gamma I, tentatively listed for Julian, so I think your gamma just has the horizontal bar off the horizontal making it look like an N

    I must admit that I only looked in LRBC, I have now checked RIC, with your explanation I see it too! Now I can correctly describe the coin. Thank you!
