[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3660383, member: 87809"]Totally agree with you in all you say: they certainly did a great job with the new RPC site! The stance of the figure on the reverse looks like Nilus, especially the position of the reed and the form of the thing where Nilus is reclining on. What threw me off was the partial legend on the reverse. Looking at the options you suggest it could be this type: [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/65150[/URL] because the legend on the reverse is on the upper outer left and what is there on my coin could well be ΑΚ Δ. Unfortunately, whatever is in exergue is not readable. For now the most plausible attribution is RPC III, 6017 and I will keep looking if there are other possibilities :happy: Thank you so very much [URL='http://@SeptimusT']@SeptimusT[/URL] and [URL='http://@Justin Lee']@Justin Lee[/URL] for all your help, it is very much appreciated.[/QUOTE]
