[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3708124, member: 56653"]Thats it. Apparently its not in Vemania-Isny either. I was following the auction but at 700+ EUR its more than I would have went anyway. This series is rare to very rare (this variation for example is very rare). Here are two others from the same series, but a different emission and my entry about them from September 2018: It's a very rare example of the sixth emission at Ticinum dated late 279, from a rather rare series presenting the emperor on horseback riding over enemy captive, no exergual line, mintmark and denomination being usually shown underneath the prancing horse. A rather dynamic design. This sixth emission has no other markings but the officina and RIC does not list this type for neither emission, officina or bust type. A singular example is shown on [URL='https://probvs.net/probvs/R446/R446v.260518-SKB-1178.JPG']Probvs.net Ticinum RIC 446[/URL] with a few others being recovered from the Vemania-Isny hoard (Vemania-Isny II 81-84), which I cannot add as I do not have the reference. A rare coin by all intents and purposes from a rare series. Probvs.net coin: [ATTACH=full]993948[/ATTACH] Coin from P. Gysen Collection: [ATTACH=full]993950[/ATTACH] I'm not sure if double die-match or reverse die match -- the Vemania-Isny coins are reported to be all of them from the same dies.[/QUOTE]
