<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3012577, member: 75937&quot;]That&#039;s a lovely coin, [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] . My favorite catalog for these issues is Behrendt Pick&#039;s <i>Die antiken Münzen Nord-Griechenlands, Vol. 1: Dacien und Moesien </i>(a.k.a. AMNG), available as an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Die-Antiken-M%C3%BCnzen-Nord-Griechenlands-Vol/dp/0259321583" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Die-Antiken-M%C3%BCnzen-Nord-Griechenlands-Vol/dp/0259321583" rel="nofollow">inexpensive reprint at amazon</a> or online here (<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/p1dieantikenmn01akaduoft" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archive.org/details/p1dieantikenmn01akaduoft" rel="nofollow">part a</a>) and here (<a href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn01akaduoft" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn01akaduoft" rel="nofollow">part b</a>). It lists three different reverse dies for yours which divide up the reverse inscription in various ways so as to fit it all on the coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]747326[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The common device on three reverses is described in the listing for 1181 as (my translation): &quot;Nemesis standing left; in the outstretched right hand, a short rod; in the lowered left hand, a bridle; on the ground, a wheel; in left field, E.&quot; Two variants of the obverse are used between these three reverse dies: for 1181 and 1182, the obverse as described in the listing for 1173; for 1183, the obverse as described in the listing for 1177.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is 1182. Three specimens are cited for this one: one in the museum in Bucharest, one in Imhoof&#039;s collection measuring 28 mm and weighing 10.10 g, and one in the Paris collection. Imhoof was Pick&#039;s co-author.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]747334[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the listing for 1173, which describes the obverse die used for your coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]747338[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
