<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 7922029, member: 80783&quot;]I did not say my coin was the only known Medallion of Numerianus. It is however the only existing specimen of it´s type as listed by Cohen and Gnecchi.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are in fact a total of 13 similar AE-Medallions of Numerianus from the Rome mint (types Gnecchi Nr-7-10) known from a total of six reverse dies in three varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless my coin, this very specimen listed in Cohens 2nd edition in 1880 as Numerian Nr. 32 and it´s pedigree documented since then, is in fact the one and only specimen of Gnecchi Nr. 9 (<i>this coin listed there</i>), as it not only differs from all other Medallions due to the position of the Monetae and their cornucopiae, but also features a unique obverse legend.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That medallion is type Cohen 30, Gnecchi 7 or 8 (different obverse legend, different reverse die with central cornucopia facing left), but not Cohen 32, Gnecchi Nr.9.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That one has the bust seen from the front. It is Cohen Nr.28 / Gnecchi Nr.5.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further reading:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unique-medallion-of-numerianus.325646/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unique-medallion-of-numerianus.325646/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/unique-medallion-of-numerianus.325646/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
