<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 3214967, member: 74834&quot;]This Alexandria drachm of Antoninus Pius just came in, my first of this type. Antoninus Pius issued this denomination in abundancy, there are hundreds of interesting types (for instance, Zodiac types) and variations. This is a relatively dull reverse, but there are many finicky variations (eagle left, right or facing, head left or right, wreath in beak (&#039;WIB&#039;) or not). </p><p><br /></p><p>Unlovingly cleaned, not being in very good condition (as often), it is a bit hard to tell which one it is, but I think Emmett 1496.21: eagle facing, head left, WIB. <a href="http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/15922/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/15922/" rel="nofollow">RIC 15922</a> (but the layout is different). Year KA (=21). K over the right shoulder, A to the right side of the wing (it took some time to find the A). 32 mm, 27.17 gr. These coins always have a convex obverse, that is smaller than the flat reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]835799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
