<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2800039, member: 75937&quot;]I&#039;m a sucker for these marriage commemoratives of Gordian III and Tranquillina. This one has an obverse die break affecting the legend at the 10:00-11:00 position, which is seen in other online examples (below). After an internet search, there appear to have been only a few obverse and reverse dies used to strike this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, feel welcome to post anything you feel is relevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]652544[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian III, with Tranquillina, AD 238-244</p><p>Roman provincial Æ Pentassarion;&nbsp; 26.1 mm, 13.33 g, 6:00</p><p>Obv: ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC ΑVΓ CЄ - ΤΡΑΝΚVΛ-ΛЄΙΝΑ, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gordian III right, vis-à-vis diademed and draped bust of Tranquillina left</p><p>Rev: ΟΔΗΞ - CЄΙΤΩΝ, Sarapis standing left, extending arm and holding scepter; E (denomination) in left field</p><p>Refs: AMNG I 1696; Moushmov 1696; Varbanov 4599; SNRIS Odessus 15 (a9).</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse and reverse die matches to:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]652542[/ATTACH] </p><p>CNG electronic auction 231, 14 April, 2010, lot 131</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]652543[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gorny &amp; Mosch, Giessen, auction 247, 10 March, 2017, lot 4261</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]652545[/ATTACH] </p><p>Wildwinds plate coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
