    My photo:

    My coin shows: OBV: CONSTAN SPFAVG REV: VICTORIAEDDAVGGQNN
    MM: HR/ gammaSIS AE4 15.4-15.6mm 1.31g

    I cannot find a match for this anywhere! Close as I can come is RIC VIII, 78 (second series 347-348) which is not a match because it shows the fieldmark to be: RP


    Dirty Old Coins website shows an exact match as Siscia 192. However, in RIC, 192 shows everything to be totally different!

    Dirty Old Coins photo and description:

    [​IMG]

    RIC 192 (Siscia) AE4 Obv: CONSTANSPFAVG - Diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
    Rev: VICTORIAEDDAVGGQNN Exe: HR/[​IMG]SIS - Two Victories standing, facing each other, each holding a wreath and palm.


    Therefore my questions are thus:

    Could I be seeing my fieldmark wrong and it is actually a RP? Is RIC wrong or incomplete, and it should be HR? Should my coin be RIC VIII Siscia 78, and not worry about the fieldmark?


    Expert help is needed, I am stumped!

    RIC VIII Siscia 192 is correct. In RIC, this entry is for Constans with ASIS mintmark and HR monogram.

    Thank you so much! I believe that the officina is what was throwing me off (gamma). (Or maybe inexperience combined with bad eyes)

    for this issue, there are a possibility of 5 workshops -- A B Γ Δ E

    RIC just shows ASIS for convenience sake. If you look at the top of the page in RIC, you will see the five workshops and columns going down.

    Yes, I saw that after you replied, and I looked again. Mind (along with eyes) is going bad! Again, thank you very much!
