<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 7468386, member: 116315&quot;]I&#039;m pretty sure that this is incorrect and that the original medallion is still safe in Arras, at least according to this thread from a couple of years ago (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-coin-displays-in-the-british-museum.344503/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-coin-displays-in-the-british-museum.344503/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-coin-displays-in-the-british-museum.344503/</a>), which explains that the CNG listing is wrong; besides, I&#039;m pretty sure the loss of such an important coin would have made worldwide news. Still, I could try emailing the museum, just to be sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, possibly unique varieties of ancient coins are not that rare, and even I own a few, though I&#039;ve already posted them plenty of times:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293444[/ATTACH] </p><p>Volusian (251-253), Antoninianus, Antioch mint.</p><p>Obverse: IM C V AF GAL VEND VOLVSIANO AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind;</p><p>Reverse: AEQVITAS AVGG, Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia;</p><p>RIC - (unlisted legend at Antioch)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293439[/ATTACH] </p><p>Claudius II (268-270), Antoninianus, Siscia mint, second officina.</p><p>Obverse: IMP CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust with paludamentum left, seen from the front;</p><p>Reverse: PA-X A-VG, Pax standing left, holding olive branch in right hand and long transverse sceptre in left hand; II in left field;</p><p>RIC 186 (unlisted bust type), RIC V Online -</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293445[/ATTACH] </p><p>Claudius II (268-270), Antoninianus, Antioch mint, 4th emission.</p><p>Obverse: radiate head right, with traces of drapery to front and rear of truncation;</p><p>Reverse: Proserpina standing right, holding long-handled torch in right hand, facing Ceres standing left, holding corn-ears in right hand and long-handled torch in left hand. </p><p>RIC 200 (unlisted bust type), RIC V Online -[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
