I'd like to hear more about your avatar coin, @Spaniard. Is it Kushano-Sasanian? or?

 

@Severus Alexander..The coin is a Kashmir Kaserah or Punchshi of Kshemagupta (AD 950-958) the king and husband of Didda Rani.I've got quite a big set of these now and for the last year I've been researching something about them that hasn't ,to my knowledge,been clarified before.I hope to post this thesis here soon and see what the experts say but I'm not sure if the series is interesting to this forum?Although I have seen a thread on these coins here before so maybe there are people who collect them aswell?

Saludos Paul

Of interest to a minority on here, but definitely of interest! When you post, we can help tag the right people for feedback.

 

That's good news! Thanks for your interest and help.

 

People here collect everything ancient through medieval from anywhere world wide.

A lot of us have gotten interested in less common ancients because of it.

Nice Soter Megas ! Lovely chocolate patina.

 

I just upgraded my Vima Takto! Here's my new one:

 

For some reason it reminds me of the Snickers 1996 Superbowl commercial - The Kansas City Chefs.

 

I have this Licinius follis, which maybe not in RIC?

 

@gogili1977 Nice coin...Whats in the left field I cant make it out?

 

Welcome aboard, @Spaniard!
Here is my Licinius, from Siscia:


Licinius I, AE follis. 313 AD. Siscia. IMP LIC LICINIVS PF AVG, laureate, cuirassed bust right / IOVI CONS-ERVATORI AVGG NN, Jupiter standing half left, chlamys hanging from left shoulder, holding Victory on globe and sceptre, eagle with wreath left. Officina letter in right field (delta). Mintmark SIS.
RIC VI Siscia 233a.

 

Spaniard, nice first ancient coin, congrats and looking foward to more.

What other LRB do you like to collect?

 

Here's a new one..
Licinius I AE3. AD 317.Heraclea
IMP LICI-NIVS AVG, Laureate draped bust left, with globe, sceptre and mappa / PROVIDENTIAE AVGG, campgate, three turrets, 6 to 8 layers, no doors.
Mintmark MHTA. RIC VII Heraclea 17; Sear 15265.

Still nicely silvered and seems to have only 5 layers?

@randygeki...Collect pretty much anything that catches my eye,then work on the history.
At the moment collecting Western and Eastern empire split from Diocletian on.
Paul.
BTW super reverse on your second coin.

 

And here's another,

Licinius I AE3 Follis. AD 318-320.Heraclea
IMP LICI-NIVS AVG, laureate bust right, wearing imperial mantle, holding globe, sceptre and mappa
PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG, campgate with three turrets, no door, Λ in right field. Mintmark SMHA.Heraclea RIC VII #48 1st oficina

(Note: RIC wrongly describes the bust as facing left.)
