Apparently New Coin Type : Aeolis, Elaea - Marcus Aurelius

I purchased this coin months ago thinking it was a rare provincial of RPC IV.2, 2614 (temporary). https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/2614 I own specimen #5 and this one looked very similar.

However after submitting it I received the following email notifying me that it was submitted as a new type RPC IV.2, 25096 (temporary). https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/25096


Apparently it was missed attributed and there are only 3 of this type that are known. I emailed the museum to get photos and documentation of the two that are in their collection and will follow-up once I receive the information.

Congrats. That's what makes collecting ancients so much more enjoyable than moderns.

 

Yes, nice score!
