<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2885001, member: 88829&quot;]That would be nice.&nbsp; A little background.&nbsp; The coin is an AE28 (27x28mm) and weighs 12.15g.&nbsp; Die axis is 7 o&#039;clock.&nbsp; I bought it back in 2003, and I think I was bidding against Ray Wilk for it.&nbsp; As it turned out I was able to acquire another, similar but not identical.&nbsp; Ray and I used to get together back then, and I sold the second coin to him.&nbsp; That is the one he shows on his web page.&nbsp; This one has not seen the light of day on the web until today.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you like Provincial gates you may enjoy this one issued for Geta.&nbsp; It&#039;s an AE25 (11.6g) from Kallatis.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]692218[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It pretty much has everything you want in a gate; layered stonework, turret towers, partially lowered portcullis, standing figure (right tower), viewing ports, and mark of denomination (pentassarion).&nbsp; And the youthful portrait of Geta isn&#039;t bad either.&nbsp; In all a fun coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gates were a major subspecialty of mine back in the day, and I have many hundreds, Imperial and Provincial.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
