<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 7829343, member: 116315&quot;]Very nice coin, especially considering the provenance! Errors on antoniniani are still quite rare, though more common than on other denominations, and sometimes can be quite interesting, especially when they alter an emperor&#039;s name. For example, there are some coins of Claudius II where his name is misspelled as either Cladius or Caudius. Here&#039;s an example of the latter:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345082[/ATTACH] </p><p>Claudius II (268-270), Antoninianus, Antioch mint.</p><p>Obverse: IMP C CAVDIVS AVG (sic), radiate head left;</p><p>Reverse: CONS-ER AVG, Serapis standing right, with right hand raised and holding transverse sceptre in left hand, facing Isis standing left, holding sistrum in right hand and bucket in left hand.</p><p>RIC V 202, RIC V Online 1080</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other example I could find was an obverse die match in the Gysen collection, illustrated on <a href="https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1080?tempRIC=1080&amp;asmSelect0=&amp;asmSelect1=&amp;asmSelect2=&amp;asmSelect3=&amp;asmSelect4=&amp;asmSelect5=&amp;asmSelect6=&amp;asmSelect7=&amp;asmSelect8=&amp;asmSelect9=&amp;asmSelect10=&amp;asmSelect11=&amp;BustDescription=&amp;ReverseDescription=&amp;Note=&amp;Reference=&amp;page=1&amp;mod=result&amp;from=advanced" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1080?tempRIC=1080&amp;asmSelect0=&amp;asmSelect1=&amp;asmSelect2=&amp;asmSelect3=&amp;asmSelect4=&amp;asmSelect5=&amp;asmSelect6=&amp;asmSelect7=&amp;asmSelect8=&amp;asmSelect9=&amp;asmSelect10=&amp;asmSelect11=&amp;BustDescription=&amp;ReverseDescription=&amp;Note=&amp;Reference=&amp;page=1&amp;mod=result&amp;from=advanced" rel="nofollow">the same page</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
