<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2250682, member: 42773&quot;]Here&#039;s an ant of Aurelian, very common CONCORDIA MILITVM type, but this coin is special for a few reasons. The Q-star in exergue makes it a scarcer Siscia mint issue, and this coin is superbly struck, with enough silvering left to give it a pretty glint in the sunlight. I have yet to track down the exact reference as there are so many small varieties and RIC V leaves much to be desired...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]445416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445417[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is typically described as Concordia and emperor clasping hands, but that Edward Scissorhands way of depicting it is odd. It frequently looks to me as if they&#039;re exchanging some sort of thunderbolt - but that would be the wrong god.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: looks like RIC V(a) Aurelian 215 does the trick, p. 288.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
