    Hello. The lettering of this apparently silver coin is totally Greek. However I can read SC in exergue. It weighs 12.36 g. Could you please assist me to find out its identity and metal composition ? Thanks.. Charles GorR O.jpg GorR R.jpg

    Greek Imperial or Roman Provincial, they both mean the same thing and this coin fits it.

    More Roman Provincial Tetradrachm of Trajan Decius from Seleucis and Pieria, Antioch. Could be Trebonianus Gallus. Havent learned the writing still.

    Trajan Decius. The SC on this does not stand for Senatus Consulto, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

    Thanks to all of you guys. What about the letters SC in exergue that Ardy believes they don't stand for Senatus Consulto ?

    ummm, I've always subliminally-thought that "SC" meant "Steve's Coin"


    => please return all of my coins (thanks)

    Steve.. I'm a beginner.. I would have thought that SC meant South Carolina or even Santa Cruz...

    Far be it for me to argue with Ardatirion, but I always thought the "SC" stood for Senatus Consulto. I'll be interested in the correct answer.
