Usually coins of Roman Empress Aelia Flaccilla are considered scarce. While searching about a newly acquired coin of hers, I found it was listed as " Rare". It's tiny and weighs only 0.84 g. Victory is on reverse inscribing a Christogram. RIC IX- 64. Struck at Antioch. Size : A4. ANEpsilon in exergue. I believe it's useful to know how much such an LRB could be evaluated in medium condition nowadays.
Nice @7Calbrey ! Fun to find those unexpected gems of “rare” , or another important attribution, etc. etc. congrats! Mine looks like Victory busy at a Spinning Wheel making yarn! At 5.7g, mine is a horse compared to your tiny 0.84g! RI Aelia Flaccilla w Theodosius I 373-388 CE 21mm 5.7g Victory Christogram shield Antioch RIC IX 61
A friend tried once to explain me the difference between ‘scarce’ and ‘rare’. He told me : “ An intelligent politician is scarce. An honest politician is rare !”
