As the photo shows, this quadrans has some issues. That is not the real issue here, though, because both the coin and I can live with these encrustations. I wonder, however, who produced this coin? I was sure I would find it among the anonymous quadranses from the time of the Flavians (listed after Domitia in Sear#1). I didn’t find it there, so now I’m kinda lost. Does anybody know this type? I hope I’m at least right it’s a quadrans.... (16mm, about 2.5g.)

The series honors all the major gods. This is Mercury. Sear is not a complete listing. Anyone who writes a book claiming they missed nothing is likely wrong. Sear did not claim that even but got a high percentage of the important ones including S.2928. Below are Minerva, Mars and Juno, Who has others?
Those are nice, Doug. I like the peacock! I’ve got 2922 too. I think these are nice to collect. Turns out it was right that I would have found it where I thought it was, if I had used my eyes a bit better then.
What a fun type! Congrats Svessien I have yet to land one but it's on the radar And thanks @dougsmit , I didn't know it was a series That Mars one is boss Here's my Juno:
