<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4360332, member: 74834&quot;]Coincidentally, I just bought another Aurelian yr. 5 tetradrachm (20 mm, 8.53 gr.), that I really like because of the good condition of the obverse, and the uncommon reverse. </p><p>Yes, the type has only a <i>1</i> (= c<i>ommon</i>) in Emmett (nr. 3961), but I had never seen it before, and now I can compare it to examples on Acsearch and Coinarchives. There are apparently two types, one with &#039;of the year&#039;, ETOVC, spelled out in full. Mine has the &#039;L&#039; as a common Alexandrian designation for &#039;year&#039;, and I like the empty space on the coin surrounding the L / E. </p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, the year 5 (273/274) was very special for Aurelian, I wonder why. </p><p>And thanks for alerting me to his distinctive nostril. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1102463[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
