AE3 coin heraclea mint. What puzzles me is the reverse with some details that resemble scenes from "Alien" movie. I would appreciate some clarification from all of you. Thanks
You have the right mint, I can't tell which officina it is (A, B, delta, gamma, or epsilon). It's RIC Heraclea 82. The braids and arm of the horseman, and the horses neck are a little long. It's just how the engraver ended up making it. A neat coin BTW. They can vary it style (drastically sometimes) not just from mint to mint, but also from various officinas and engravers. Dane has some similar to yours: http://www.catbikes.ch/helvetica/ft-heraclea.htm Here are a few of ine: RIC Heraclea 82 Few more from Heraclea
