Both Numerian RIC Vii Lugdunum 394?

I was going through my 'Numerians' and I noticed that two of the 'Silvered Antoniniani' shared the same 'reference'.

Can you confirm that this is so, or have I made a mistake?

Yup, both the same issue. RIC V-II 394.

 

Numerian Ant.
Obv:– IMP C NVMERIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:– PAX AVGG, Pax standing left, holding olive-branch and sceptre
Minted in Lugdunum (B in left field) Emission 6 Officina 2. August A.D. 283 – start A.D. 284 (Bastien dating)
Reference:– Cohen 43. Bastien 539, RIC 394 Bust Type F

like mine:-



they also come with B in the right field which is scarcer



and with military bust

 

Thanks @zumbly and Martin.
I appreciate the confirmation. Both from the same mint but the spacing of the lettering on the reverse being somewhat different had me wondering.

 

Since all dies were hand cut, it's not unusual to see differences like this.

 

Sorry, TC, I have no clue. But I do have a nicely sivered Numerian!

 

@chrsmat71
Your one IS nicely silvered, Chris. Mine have some silvering left but it is hard to photograph.
(Nice strike, too.)

 

And a HUGE flan.

 

@Topcat7 I do not get much into Empire coinage, so I really cannot help.

Mine is pretty bet up with time...

Nice coin there Chris!
