Gordian AE As - New addition to collection

Congratulations on a nice addition to your collection, gogili1977.

I have an as of Gordianus III too. Have had if for ages, think I got for 50 DM way back....I am surprised I never attributed this coin properly. The sellers envelope just says the reverse is VIRTVS. Looks like Mars standing to me.

That is probably very rare Gordian As, I'm with that reverse only seen sestertius.

 

Indeed. I can't find any on acsearch.

Thank you both very much. It seems your are correct. I have just looked at Acsearch and I can't find any records for asse of Gordianus with reverse Virtus either.
