<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3020125, member: 87809&quot;]I have a Saloninus, 22 x 24 mm, 2.88 g, struck off-center on a very thin &amp; large flan (&lt; 1mm)</p><p>Obv.: <i>SAL VALERIANVS CS</i> radiate and draped bust right</p><p>Rv.: <i>PRINC IVVENT</i> Saloninus standing facing, head left, holding baton and transverse spear; signum to right</p><p>RIC V Saloninus 10, Göbl MIR 36, 939z; RSC (Cohen) 61; Sear 10770</p><p><br /></p><p>This is really confusing because Numismatics.org and wildwinds say for the same RIC number that it was minted in Lugdunum (Lyon), e.g.&nbsp; <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.sals.10" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.sals.10" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.sals.10</a></p><p>but entries in acsearch say some were minted in Cologne (e.g. <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76309" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76309" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76309</a>&nbsp; other entries say Mediolanum or Viminacium (e.g. <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=363118" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=363118" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=363118</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>How can one know where it was minted?
