    Hello,

    I got this coin and can't find any reference. Can you please help me to identify this coin?!
    Could it be MARCUS AURELIUS or Septimius Severus

    diameter 22,25-23,95 mm, weight 9,96 gr

    Thanks in advance

    Hermann

    I'm thinking Sep Sev

    yes Bing, I agree, but that isn't solving my problem, I can't find this coin on google, nor at ascreach. Any idea???

    Sorry. I thought you needed just the basics. I've taken a look for a Sep Sev with Tyche seated left, but since I can't make out the legends, I can't say I can find a match. Perhaps Markianopolis?

    TIF Always learning.

    Septimius Severus, Amphipolis.

    Approximately this (the obverse legends can vary):

    MACEDON, Amphipolis. Septimius Severus
    Obv: AVTK CЄBHPOC (sic), laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right
    Rev: AMΦIΠO-ΛЄITΩN, Tyche of Amphipolis seated left, crowned with modius, and holding patera
    Varbanov 3260-69

    Here's a list of hits of the type from acsearch.

    And a picture of one sold by @SeverusAlexander from back in the good ol' days of AMCC:
