I got this pedigreed coin from early 20th century Ihnasayah hoard found in Egypt. Then the hoard was purchased by ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) and then auctioned at CNG. Here is my coin from the hoard.
@ancient coin hunter exactly that is why I paid higher than normal for this. by the way I contacted ROM and they confirmed my coin in their old inventory.
Nice addition! Here's my hoard coin: Gallic Empire, Tetricus I, AD 270-273 Æ Antoninianus, 19x17mm, 2.49g, 1h. Obv.: [IMP C] TETRICVS PF AVG; Radiate, cuirassed bust right. Rev.: HILARI[TAS]; Hilaritas standing left holding cornucopia and palm. Reference: RIC 5b 79 (IMP) or 80 (IMP C). Ex-Braithwell Hoard, 2002; Report #180 and there were 67 examples of this coin in the hoard
@Jwt708 nice coin. I love hoard coins alot I get them she never they come around it happens rarely though I have 3 more hoard coins from harptree will post them tonight.
"I contacted ROM and they confirmed my coin in their old inventory." Do they have pictures of all 6,527 coins from the hoard...or did they just happen to have a few which included yours?
I dont know i guess they have all because they asked me send them inventory number and image of coin.
for anyone that is interested, I have this article uploaded- Armstrong, Frederick H. “The Ihnasyah Hoard Re-Examined.” Phoenix 19 (1965) : 51-60.
