Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3475002, member: 19463"]The portrait does have  Claudius flavor which was mentioned in the write-up for the lot.  The plain exergue (not KA) but well made broad flan suggests to me that this was very early in the well known effort of Aurelian to clean up the act at the mint following the Moneyers' revolt.<a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/lateromancoinage/aurelian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/lateromancoinage/aurelian.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/lateromancoinage/aurelian.html</a>  The new online RIC gives my new coin to the first issue from Tripolis.  The second issue (my older one) added the KA (and lessened the Claudius look).Temp №: <a href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3215?tempRIC=&asmSelect0=&Reign=Aurelianus&asmSelect1=&asmSelect2=&asmSelect3=&asmSelect4=&asmSelect5=&asmSelect6=&asmSelect7=&Legend=SOLI+INVICTO&asmSelect8=&asmSelect9=&asmSelect10=&BustCodeAssoc=B1l&BustCodeAssoc=B1l%2A&asmSelect11=&BustDescription=&ReverseDescription=&Note=&Reference=&page=1&hpp=5&mod=result&from=advanced" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3215?tempRIC=&asmSelect0=&Reign=Aurelianus&asmSelect1=&asmSelect2=&asmSelect3=&asmSelect4=&asmSelect5=&asmSelect6=&asmSelect7=&Legend=SOLI+INVICTO&asmSelect8=&asmSelect9=&asmSelect10=&BustCodeAssoc=B1l&BustCodeAssoc=B1l%2A&asmSelect11=&BustDescription=&ReverseDescription=&Note=&Reference=&page=1&hpp=5&mod=result&from=advanced" rel="nofollow">3215</a>Reign: Aurelianus Person: AurelianusMint: Tripolis Issue 1Datation: spring – summer 273Denomination: AntoninianiTitulature: IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG Bust: B1lLegend: SOLI INVICTOReverse Mark: */–//–Reverse: Sol 2c Temp №: <a href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3219?tempRIC=&asmSelect0=&Reign=Aurelianus&asmSelect1=&asmSelect2=&asmSelect3=&asmSelect4=&asmSelect5=&asmSelect6=&asmSelect7=&Legend=SOLI+INVICTO&asmSelect8=&asmSelect9=&asmSelect10=&BustCodeAssoc=B1l&BustCodeAssoc=B1l%2A&asmSelect11=&BustDescription=&ReverseDescription=&Note=&Reference=&page=1&hpp=5&mod=result&from=advanced" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3219?tempRIC=&asmSelect0=&Reign=Aurelianus&asmSelect1=&asmSelect2=&asmSelect3=&asmSelect4=&asmSelect5=&asmSelect6=&asmSelect7=&Legend=SOLI+INVICTO&asmSelect8=&asmSelect9=&asmSelect10=&BustCodeAssoc=B1l&BustCodeAssoc=B1l%2A&asmSelect11=&BustDescription=&ReverseDescription=&Note=&Reference=&page=1&hpp=5&mod=result&from=advanced" rel="nofollow">3219</a>Reign: Aurelianus Person: AurelianusMint: Tripolis Issue 2Datation: spring 274Denomination: AurelianiTitulature: IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG Bust: B1lLegend: SOLI INVICTOReverse Mark: */–//KAReverse: Sol 2c[/QUOTE]
