<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2318652, member: 72818&quot;]Since I had a few e-bucks available, I searched for a coin that would fit that &#039;budget&#039; and came across this nice, attractive example of Trajan. It&#039;s also referred to as a bronze semis (AE-19?) and was meant for circulation within the geographical area of Antioch, Syria----and apparently a bit &#039;scarce&#039;. Basically, it&#039;s 5.03 grams and 19.8 mm and has a wonderful toning and is well struck and centered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Laureate head right</p><p>AYTOKP KAIC NEP TPAIA NOC CEB REPM</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: Veiled, turreted and draped head of Tyche right</p><p>KOINON CYPIAC</p><p>REF: Mcalee 500; Butcher 409 EDIT: Struck in Rome for use in Syria</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
