<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3805224, member: 75937&quot;]I couldn&#039;t play the game because I can&#039;t refrain from posting my coins and I don&#039;t have much of anything I haven&#039;t already showed off. But this DOES look like a coin I would have in my collection. I have three coins of GIII &amp; T from this mint, two of which are obverse die-matches to the OP coin. Look at the die damage at 10:00 on the obverse inscription. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the die-matched coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015486[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian III, with Tranquillina, AD 238-244.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ Pentassarion; 26.1 mm, 13.33 g, 6 h.</p><p>Thrace, Odessos, AD 241-244.</p><p>Obv: ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC ΑVΓ CЄ | ΤΡΑΝΚVΛ|ΛЄΙΝΑ, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gordian III right, vis-à-vis diademed and draped bust of Tranquillina left.</p><p>Rev: ΟΔΗC - CЄΙΤΩΝ, Sarapis wearing kalathos, standing left, extending arm and holding scepter; E (denomination) in left field.</p><p>Refs: AMNG I 1696; Moushmov 1696; Varbanov 4599; SNRIS Odessus 15 (a9).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015487[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian III, AD 238-244, with Tranquillina.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ Pentassarion, 27.4 mm, 12.23 g.</p><p>Thrace, Odessos, AD 241.</p><p>Obv: ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC ΑVΓ CΕ-ΤΡΑΝΚVΛ-ΛEΙΝ[Α], laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gordian III right, vis-à-vis diademed and draped bust of Tranquillina left.</p><p>Rev: ΟΔΗCCΕΙ[ΤΩΝ], Tyche standing left, wearing polos, holding rudder and cornucopiae; E (denomination) in field, left.</p><p>Refs: Moushmov 1697; Varbanov 4608; AMNG 2402.</p><p><br /></p><p>And one with a different obverse die:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015488[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian and Tranquillina AD 238-244.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ pentassarion, 26 mm., 11.98 g.</p><p>Thrace, Odessos, AD 241-244.</p><p>Obv: AVT K M ANT ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC AVΓ TPANKVΛ-ΛЄΙΝ, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian III right, vis-a-vis diademed and draped bust of Tranquillina left.</p><p>Rev: ΟΔΗCCЄΙΤΩΝ, Athena wearing crested helmet, standing facing, head left, holding shield and grounded spear, E to left.</p><p>Refs: Varbanov 4555; AMNG 2382; Moushmov 1684; Lindgren III 814; SNG Cop 685; Mionnet Suppl II 951. 11.94.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going with [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] on this one because the description of what he found appealing sounds like something that he would say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
