<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Co1ns, post: 4847272, member: 87765&quot;]This doesn&#039;t quite fit the bill, but RIC does list this coin as common. If it&#039;s not the first coin of Aurelian I&#039;ve found in hundreds of uncleaneds, it&#039;s only the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s 4 available on vcoins, one seller lists as scarce, another very rare. OCRE has two examples and there&#039;s 3 auction records at acsearch. Coincidentally, none of those 9 examples feature the apparrently unlucky Q mark of the 9th workshop that produced mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Throw in some splatters of red, blue and green that happened to form away from the good emperor&#039;s face, and I doubt I&#039;ll ever find a such a common coin again.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1170241[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Aurelian, Billon Antoninianus, Siscia Mint, 270-275 CE</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG; Bust of Aurelian, radiate, draped, right</p><p>Rev: CONCORDIA MILI; Two Concordiae, draped, standing, each holding ensign; between them, third ensign; Q in ex.</p><p>Reference: RIC V Aurelian 199</p><p><br /></p><p>PS Thanks to [USER=77226]@Orange Julius[/USER] for making me finally learn to sew pictures together and [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] via [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] for the trivia re: the <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac73xxi.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac73xxi.html" rel="nofollow">Q officina</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
