[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3012581, member: 75937"]For the majority of issues in AMNG, the obverse type described probably corresponds to a single die, as this examination of the listing for my coin demonstrates: [ATTACH=full]747335[/ATTACH] Note how the catalog describes the block-like C in ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC and the V-Γ tie which follows. Note how it demonstrates the curved epsilons in CЄΒ and ΛЄΙΝΑ and how it notes the break in the empress's name as ΤΡΑΝΚVΛ-ΛЄΙΝΑ.

The description of the reverse reads (again, my translation): "Nemesis-Aequitas standing left; in the right hand, a scale; in left arm, a cornucopiae; on the ground, a wheel; in left field, E."

Here's my coin again for easy comparison to the catalog listing: [ATTACH=full]747336[/ATTACH] Pick's reference is a MUST for collectors of provincial cities from the Balkans.[/QUOTE]
