I have three in my collection, all of which I have obtained from [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] at one time or another.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see your coins of this city!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]936240[/ATTACH]</p><p>Time of Valerian I to Gallienus, AD 253-268.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ 20.1 mm, 4.49 g, 1 h.</p><p>Troas, Alexandria Troas, AD 253-268.</p><p>Obv: CO-L TROAD, turreted and draped bust of Tyche, right, with vexillium inscribed AV/CO over shoulder.</p><p>Rev: COL AVG, Horse grazing right, TRO in exergue.</p><p>Refs: Bellinger A486; SNG Copenhagen 108-113; SNG von Aulock 1466; SNG Tübingen 2533; BMC 48 var.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]936246[/ATTACH]</p><p>Time of Valerian I to Gallienus, AD 253-268.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ 20.6 mm, 4.83 g, 10 h.</p><p>Troas, Alexandria Troas, AD 253-268.</p><p>Obv: CO-L TROAD, turreted and draped bust of Tyche, right, with vexillium inscribed AV/CO over shoulder.</p><p>Rev: COL AVGO TRO, eagle, head left with wings spread, standing facing on head and neck of bull facing right.</p><p>Refs: Bellinger A491; SNG Copenhagen 115; SNG von Aulock 1467; BMC 57 var.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]936250[/ATTACH]</p><p>Time of Valerian I to Gallienus, AD 253-268.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ 23.2 mm, 5.86 g, 6 h.</p><p>Troas, Alexandria Troas, AD 253-268.</p><p>Obv: CO ALEX TRO, turreted and draped bust of Tyche, right, with vexillium inscribed CO/AV over shoulder.</p><p>Rev: COL AVGO TROA, Marsyas standing right on pedestal, holding wineskin.</p><p>Refs: Bellinger A497; SNG Copenhagen 103; SNG von Aulock 1463; BMC --.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
