Here is a slightly earlier one (I went with the nearest neighbor I could find, so that I could repeat the "next"). OCRE gives your type as...
Interesting answer! I know little of these, but I trust that you've got it right. A good illustration that (1) "rarity" is not a single, fixed...
Oh, that's a good one! Hard to choose, many of my favorite Greek & Roman Provincials come right to mind. (Even Republican & early Imperial...
That's a great pair! I would feel confident in saying a double die match. If anything, the reverses may be in a slightly different "die state,"...
I already posted my favorite Carthage EL Stater in a previous turn (https://www.cointalk.com/posts/24650854, 17 Jul 2023), so here is my second...
Does Neptune count? If not, there's a proper Thessalian Poseidon holding a dolphin on a Skotussa Hemi. too. (Actually, a double-Olympian, Artemis...
Here's one of my newer additions to the Olympic Pantheon.... and it's from Olympia! Hera keeping an eye on Zeus' (Cleopatra's?) eagle. [IMG]...
Great little fraction! I'm on the fence about this type, I don't find it hard to believe it's him (or Themiso. as Hephaestus), and it would help...
By the way, here's a favorite "barb" of mine, which happens to be of the VLPP variety. It's not in the best condition, but I always thought the...
Congratulations on the bucket list coin! This is a great type, and that's a great example. One of the coins I most regret selling was of this...
That top one, Prince of Youth, is great overall, but the figure on the reverse (incl. the standards and robes) is really impressive. Amazing that...
That is the type. ("VLPP" for short.) Victor Clark's "barbs" page has a bunch of relevant examples:...
Great addition! Something that makes this "homage" to Trajan even cooler is that Trajan own's coinage included many centuries-old...
Nothing wrong with common! In fact, I think it's usually better to go for the common types (except where specializing or there are aesthetic...
I've shared this coin once before, but in a different post, so I'll give it its one showing here. I'm quite fond of this little Persis...
Very cool, I actually like this design and the style better. This reverse design actually adds one element missing from my OP type: The crescent...
Great pages on the Constantius II reverse types. My favorites, and the ones I've devoted most energy to acquiring, are the FEL TEMP REPARATIO's --...
The publisher’s blurb for Michael Molnar’s (1999) Star of Bethlehem… book begins: “Could the $50 purchase of a coin by a Rutgers University...
Great coin... That reverse! What an interesting depiction of the fallen enemy holding the sword. (Usually it seems like he's trying to get away?)...
Impressive coin with a great obverse. I love big Provincial bronzes in general, but this mint has some particularly fun designs. (I also like how...
