<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2909680, member: 19463&quot;]That is a very nice Aurelian.&nbsp; Mine lacks silvering; neither has the C in the obverse legend that you quote.&nbsp; The XXI and S (sixth officina - out of seven - in the Greek numeral system) on mine moved up to make room for the lion.&nbsp; RIC does not care much about lions so both of our coins are RIC 62, Rome mint.&nbsp; 154 is the Cohen number. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]702317[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;RIC 154 is a Ticinum coin with SOLI INVICTO legend and similar scene.&nbsp; The mintmark is distinctive with the I of XXI dropped and replaced with the T city initial.&nbsp; Mine is a P (officina one).&nbsp; RIC says they come in P to Q which&nbsp; means there is an SXXT version from officina two.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=46767" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=46767" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=46767</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702318[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is what happens when you derive catalog numbers from third party sources rather than looking them up in the book.&nbsp; I am not a specialist in Aurelian and can not swear to the above ID&#039;s not having kept up with changes since RIC came out so very long ago.&nbsp; If there is an Aurelianist among us who can straighten me out, please do.&nbsp; I do agree with the main point here:&nbsp; That is a very nice coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
