    I realize I ask to often for help with Referencing of coins, so I might as well continue,
    This coin I am unable to decern other than it is a Geta, or find proper reference for... as the closest I have come on wildwinds is below however the lettering dosen't match up, I believe the obverse ends in AVG...?
    size; 30.2mm weight: 16.2gm.

    (Geta, AE22 of Augusta Traiana, Thrace. AVT K Π CEΠTIMOC ΓETAC, laureate head right / AVΓOYCTHC TΡAIANHC, Geta on horseback galloping right over two prostrate captives beneath.) Varbanov 1328 / Moushmov 3096

    Thank you, I am presuming that I have no captives below in mine as there seems to
    be no hint left that I can see... I also noticed that my horse seems to be in a walk
    and not a gallup as the samples are?? However at least the wording is fits which
    makes it a feasible fit for me...!
