I was given this coin along this publication # AMNG III 575 var of which I do not know where to look for it, the info below is what I have on this coin... Any more information is apprecated.! Sincerely Steven ____________________________________ Koinon of Macedon. Pseudo-autonomous issue, time of Gordian, 238 - 244.AD. Coin minted during Emperor Gordian 238 - 244.AD. from Autonomous City state of Koinon. or (Coinon) They were not autonomous but they didn't have a Roman garrison in town, that's why this city state was called Pseudo ( Pretending) to be Autonomous.

Very attractive, this Roman Provincial coin. We may compare types on Wildwinds. Macedonia was probably a proud province, but still subject to the Roman emperor, although he is not pictured or mentioned on this coin. B NEΩ stands for Second Neokorate (or Neocorate), meaning the koinon of Macedonia had twice built a temple to honor a reigning emperor. This was a highly esteemed rank in the Eastern imperial provinces.
Koinon of Macedonia: Time of Severus Alexander, AD 231-235. Quasi-autonomous AE 25.1 mm, 11.60 g, 7 h. Koinon of Macedon. Obv: AΛЄΞANΔPOV, diademed head of Alexander the Great with flowing hair, right.

This coin comes in umpteen varieties and attributing them can be a bear. AMNG III (Imhoof-Blumer) has a nearly complete listing of them. Here's my coin, for example: BMC Macedonia has several examples as well.
