<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4051033, member: 82549&quot;]Does anyone have a version of this coin with a Φ mint mark for Phillippi? I&#039;ve had this coin for many years, and shown it a few times, but I&#039;ve never seen another. The general consensus have been that it&#039;s a barbarous imitation, although it is listed in RIC:</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/GoldenAge/Vespasian.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Provincial Silver Denarius (or barbarous imitation)</p><p>Phillipi mint, A.D. 69-70</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES VESPAS AVG</p><p>Rev: PACI OPB TERR AVG - Turretted female bust</p><p>Φ behind bust</p><p>RIC (New) 1407</p><p>18mm, 2.8g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note the the Φ is behind the bust rather than under it. Perhaps that is what identifies it as an imitation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
