[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3997712, member: 87404"]Welcome! Your coin has the obverse legend A K M A KAPINOC CЄB which is in Greek. The KAPINOC translates to the emperor Carinus. Your coin is Roman Provincial (rather than Roman Imperial, or made for use within the empire) and was minted and used in the Roman province of Alexandria, Egypt. It looks like it is Athena on the reverse holding a statuette of Nike. Struck in year 2 (told to us by the letter B on the right, the 2nd letter of the greek alphabet) of Carinus' reign, or 283/284 AD. It's a very nice example, [USER=109964]@macsauce2012[/USER]! Here is one of my Carinus Alexandrian Tetradrachms: [IMG]https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/collagemaker_20190526_154604479.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=3][B]Carinus (as Caesar), Ruled 282-283 AD[/B] [B]AE Tetradrachm, Egypt, Alexandria[/B] [B]Struck 282/283 AD[/B] Obverse: A K MA KAPINOC K, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right. Reverse: Tyche standing left, holding rudder and cornucopiae, date LA in upper left field (year 1=282/283 AD).
